First, we want to wish you a Happy Valentine’s Day from Mackoul & Associates! We hope that you have a wonderful day celebrating the love you share with the special people in your lives.
We also want to let you know, that should you get a valuable or sentimental gift on this holiday we can help you insure it.
In order to insure jewelry, you may want to buy an extension on your renters’ or homeowners’ insurance policy, otherwise known as a Personal Articles Floater. Renters’ or Homeowners Insurance Policies do cover the contents within your home, but only up to a certain limit. You would want to buy a Personal Articles Floater to be sure that certain items can be replaced at their full value.
A Personal Articles Floater is a separate endorsement (also known as a rider) that can be added to your homeowners policy for personal items that have a higher value than the limits imposed in your homeowners policy. If you are someone that has jewelry that has high material or sentimental value, like wedding or engagement rings or heirloom jewelry, a personal articles floater would be a good idea for you.
