<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Here is something for the good of the order on this same topic.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Recently I was having dinner with a real estate broker and we were discussing a burst pipe that caused damage to a listing he had. The owner is now living in Texas, so the house is unoccupied.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">So it fell to the broker to arrange for cleanup and initial damage control until the insurance company could adjust the claim.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Broker met with the independent adjuster and one of their first questions was “how long has this house been unoccupied?” Broker thought that strange so asked the obvious.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The adjuster stated that many insurance companies have shifted to a policy under which the coverage for many events ceases if unoccupied for more than 30 days. Other companies implement policy upon 60 days. In
this case, the carrier had a 60 policy, and the termination of the occupancy was within limits.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">So if you have an estate with an unoccupied home, best to advise the PR in writing to pick up coverage for an unoccupied house and advise of risk of not doing so.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I am checking with an insurance broker to verify this is correct, and if not, will advise.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">PR (daughter and sole beneficiary of decedent) was informed by the insurance company (Hartford) that they would not be renewing the policy on the estate’s house because it is now unoccupied. Somehow I’ve managed not to run into this issue
before. Is anyone aware of other insurance companies that would insure an unoccupied home? It will not be sold right away.<o:p></o:p></p>
