Same policy, extra coverage: additional insured explained and why you may need it An additional insured endorsement is important when it comes to protecting yourself from third- party risks. The purpose of adding an additional insured endorsement to your policy is to extend coverage to another individual or entity who is not a named insured but has an insurable interest in the property. Germania’s new additional insured endorsement for property policies can be used to name an additional insured with respect to primary dwellings and other structures, as well as scheduled and unscheduled personal property and outbuildings. Who would benefit from this coverage? We provided four scenarios in which an additional insured endorsement for property can be useful. 1. An individual or organization who is not the named insured but has an insurable interest in the property. 2. A co-owner – but not a resident – of a property. 3. An owner – but not a resident – on a lease purchase. 4. A person who inhabits a structure where there is a life estate arrangement or trust. The life estate’s interest in the property is protected by the additional insured endorsement. Reach out to your agent to ask about how this endorsement may benefit you when your policy renews in 2020.
