How do you size an umbrella policy?

We recommend umbrella insurance for anyone with over $300,000 of savings. You need more coverage than you have assets. Having as much coverage as you have assets is not a good rule of thumb. If you have $1 million in assets and $1 million in coverage a $2 million judgment will still wipe you out.

Umbrella Insurance If you have a personal umbrella policy, your premiums are not typically tax deductible. If you own a business and have an umbrella policy that supplements your other business liability policies, your premiums may be tax deductible.

What is not covered by an umbrella policy?

Umbrella policies do not cover physical property damage. This means that damage to your own home or vehicle would not be covered by your umbrella insurance. If someone steals everything in your house or a hailstorm totals your car, umbrella policies will not step in as coverage.
