Last year, Jose and Josefina Munoz bought a home with a dwelling replacement value of $250,000 and insured it (via an HO-5 policy) for $225,000. The policy reimburses actual cash value and has a $500 deductible, standard limits for coverage C items, and no scheduled property. Recently, burglars broke into the house and stole a new computer with a current replacement value of $1,500 and an estimated useful life of three years. They also took jewelry valued at $2,500 and a coin collection valued at $1,500.
If the Munozs’ policy has a 90 percent co-insurance clause, do they have enough insurance?
Assuming a 50 percent coverage C limit, calculate how much the Munoz family would receive if they filed a claim for the stolen items.
What advice would you give the Munoz family about their homeowner’s coverage?
