Question

What is umbrella insurance and how much do I need?

Answer

Umbrella insurance adds liability coverage above your primary auto and homeowner policies, typically starting at $1 million and scaling to $10 million or more for high-net-worth households. As a general guideline, coverage should equal or exceed your net worth plus future earnings. Risk multipliers — teen drivers, pools, boats, board seats, rental properties — may warrant higher limits. High-net-worth specialty carriers usually offer broader coverage than standard carriers. Review your limits whenever your assets or risk profile change.
