You have the most popular house on the block for the neighborhood children to play at. You have a trampoline, tree fort and jungle gym. Your family also has two large German shepherd dogs. What should you consider given the described situation?

A) Purchasing personal property replacement cost coverage

B) Purchasing earthquake coverage

C) Purchasing an umbrella policy

D) None of the above

C) Purchasing an umbrella policy

Explanation:

Umbrella polices are always a good idea for wealthy people, and in this case, luckily for you, you are apparently wealthy. An umbrella policy is like super insurance, because it covers more things than normal policies do.

In this case, you have a lot of things to cover, including the German shepherd dogs, plus the trampoline, tree fort, jungle gym, plus the house itself. That extra coverage is provided by umbrella policies designed to protect your assets. E. g. if one of your neighbors is bitten by your dog or hurts itself in your trampoline, it can be very expensive and you will need extra protection.

Before you can own an umbrella you must first have a normal policy, and then add the umbrella insurance.
