An umbrella policy can provide additional liability protection, subject to its terms. Ask Guy how the proposed coverage relates to the home, rental, and auto policies and whether the actual ownership and activities are included.
HOUSTON · GREATER HOUSTON & NEARBY COMMUNITIES
Review each address on its own facts.
Include the campus and property address when comparing housing across Houston. A shared apartment, parent-owned condo, and investor rental should not share an unexplained occupancy assumption.
A student may live in an apartment, a family-owned house, or a leased room. Start with that actual arrangement and distinguish the landlord’s building protection from the student’s belongings and temporary housing.
Property-specific insurance context
A Houston-area label does not establish TWIA eligibility or flood coverage. Ask Guy to review the address, county, policy exclusions, flood information, and any separate wind arrangement that may apply.
List the properties, vehicles, owners, household members, and rental activities you want to discuss. If a business entity owns a rental, explain that explicitly. This worksheet does not assess assets or calculate an appropriate limit; it helps you avoid leaving a property or relationship out of the conversation.
02
Bring the underlying declarations.
Ask Guy to review the liability limits, named insureds, policy periods, and any requirements of a proposed umbrella. Ask whether a rental, a student away at school, or a separately owned vehicle is contemplated by the proposal. Keep the explanation in writing so the relationship between policies remains clear at renewal.
03
Use scenarios as questions.
Describe a visitor injury, a student driving away at school, or a rental-related claim as a question for the professional. Do not turn a sample into a coverage promise. Ask what exclusions or defense provisions deserve attention and what changes should trigger another review.
ILLUSTRATIVE CONVERSATION · NOT A COVERAGE DECISION
Put it into a real housing question.
A parent owns a student rental and has family auto coverage. Ask Guy to review how those interests are treated together instead of assuming one additional policy covers every relationship.
General guidance starts the conversation. Guy reviews the actual policy and property.
