Lower premiums

Renewal dates for your 2 policies are poorly aligned

Topic: Other Key Topics
Inc Prem: Decrease

You have 2 policies (Other-101 Rue-12 months/Other-David-12 months) that renew on 2/13 and 8/13. The fewer and better aligned the dates, the easier it is to manage your insurance - getting to one or two very close dates greatly simplifies the process. For this purpose, life policies are treated as annual policies and only included if the policy expiration is no more than two years in the future, and non-life policies renewing on the last day of a month are assumed to always renew on the last day of the month.

Personal property at 101 Rue De Leon (FL) overinsured for fire/theft losses

Topic: Property
Inc Prem: Decrease

Having personal property contents coverage of 120,000 for 101 Rue De Leon which is greater than the cost to replace your possessions of 65,000 isn't usually a good idea, you may wish to reduce it.

More coverage

Buy a term life policy covering Lucy

Topic: Life
Inc Prem: Increase

Term life may make sense for you. On the death of Lucy, your future household income would fall from 100,000 to 40,000. If the latter is insufficient or if your household would incur additional expenses, a term life policy could help.

Valuables possessions of 7,000 at 101 Rue De Leon (FL) are underinsured

Potential slip and fall accident at 101 Rue De Leon (FL): buy an umbrella policy

Topic: Liability and Limits
Inc Prem: Mostly neutral

If there was a slip and fall accident at 101 Rue causing 1,000,000 of medical injuries and other damages, the insurer would pay 100,000 and you would pay 900,000. In this scenario, if you had an umbrella policy with a limit of 500,000, you would have a loss of 400,000 and with a smaller underlying loss, you might have no retained loss at all.

Household annual premiums of 1,250 are big enough to devote attention

Topic: Other Key Topics
Inc Prem: Mostly neutral

You spend 1,250 each year on your various insurance policies. Your total annual premium is significant enough for you to spend some time trying to ensure you are not overpaying.
