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.
EDINBURG · TEXAS GULF REGION
Separate the wind conversation from flood.
Name the campus the student attends and the city of the property. An Edinburg school label should not replace a Brownsville or other housing address when Guy reviews coastal and flood questions.
Coordinate closing and move-in dates early. Ask about windstorm certificates where applicable, separate building and contents flood coverage, and what a lease says about evacuation or extended loss of use.
Wind, flood, and closing timing
A coastal address warrants a specific wind/hail and flood discussion. Guy must verify the exact county, insurer options, windstorm documentation, and any TWIA service-area requirements; this page does not establish eligibility.
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.
