Protecting Your High-Valued Personal Property with Insurance

Your valuable personal possessions hold more than just monetary worth—they often carry sentimental value, making their protection essential. Standard homeowners policies may provide some coverage, but limits on high-value items can leave you vulnerable in the event of loss, theft, or damage. Our specialized insurance options ensure that your most treasured belongings are properly covered, giving you financial security and peace of mind.

Why You Need High-Valued Personal Property Insurance

Many homeowners are unaware that their standard policies may not fully cover expensive personal belongings. Items such as jewelry, fine art, and collectibles often exceed standard policy limits, leaving gaps in coverage. A high-valued possessions policy bridges these gaps, ensuring that your most cherished items are adequately protected against theft, loss, and damage.

Types of Coverage Available

Jewelry, Watches, and Furs

Jewelry, luxury watches, and furs are among the most commonly insured high-value items. A typical homeowners policy may only provide coverage up to $1,500 for theft, which is often insufficient for expensive pieces. A specialized policy can provide coverage that reflects the true value of your collection.

Firearms

Firearm enthusiasts understand the importance of proper coverage for their collections. Standard policies generally cap theft coverage at $2,500, which may not be enough for rare or high-end firearms. With a tailored insurance policy, you can ensure your collection is covered adequately.

Cash and Money

Keeping large amounts of cash at home poses a financial risk, as standard homeowners insurance policies often limit reimbursement for stolen money to just $300. A high-valued possessions policy can provide enhanced protection for your financial assets.

Fine Arts and Collectibles

Paintings, sculptures, and other fine art pieces are unique investments that require specialized coverage. While standard policies may cover them at actual cash value or replacement cost, an agreed value policy ensures you receive the full insured amount in the event of loss or damage.

Additional Benefits of Specialized Coverage

When insuring high-value possessions, a customized policy offers benefits that go beyond standard homeowners insurance. These policies often include broader coverage for loss, theft, accidental damage, and even mysterious disappearance—providing comprehensive protection.

Worldwide Coverage

Many policies provide coverage beyond the home, ensuring your valuables are protected while you travel. Whether you’re on vacation, attending an event, or moving between properties, your items remain insured.

Agreed Value Coverage

For high-value items, agreed value coverage ensures that, in the event of a covered loss, you receive the full insured amount rather than depreciated market value. This type of coverage is essential for items that appreciate over time, such as fine art and collectibles.

No Deductible Options

Unlike standard policies, which often require deductibles for claims, high-valued possessions insurance can offer coverage with low or no deductibles, allowing you to recover your losses without additional out-of-pocket expenses.

Scheduled vs. Blanket Coverage

With scheduled coverage, each item is individually appraised and listed on your policy to reflect its exact value. Blanket coverage, on the other hand, provides broader protection without requiring an itemized list, ideal for collections or multiple valuables of similar type.
