If you have more to protect, a high net worth insurance policy may help protect your large assets and cover your risks.

Protect your wealth with a high net worth insurance policy.

Despite the name, high net worth insurance isn’t simply a variation on ordinary personal insurance with higher coverage limits and higher premiums. Instead, it’s about recognizing that people with large assets have unique coverage needs.

Combines coverages based on your needs.

One way this type of insurance responds to this challenge is by bringing multiple areas of coverage and expertise together into a comprehensive insurance solution based on your individual needs. This usually includes coverage for your home or homes, vehicles, travel, and even life insurance. The solution is designed for your particular risks, assets, and lifestyle rather than simply combining off-the-shelf policy terms and conditions.

High Net Worth
Water Damage
Risk Factor

Whether entering from outside your home from a flood or from within your home’s plumbing system, water damage is the most common cause of loss to a home. Many policies exclude losses caused by backup of sewers and drains, and all unendorsed homeowner policies exclude damage caused by a flood.

Solution

Careful review is essential to protect your home and belongings from all sources of water damage. We recommend coverage solutions from insurance companies that include backup of sewers and drains. Also, identify cost efficient solutions to address the risk of flood damage in the first place.

Valuable Possessions
Risk Factor

Typically, there is a sublimit on homeowner insurance policies for valuable possessions, such as jewelry, furs, fine arts, and other collectibles.

Solution

Obtain a personal floater or schedule your valuable possessions to ensure you’ll have the money to replace them.

Collector Cars
Risk Factor

Collector or classic vehicles often have significant value and require special documentation and unique insurance coverage to ensure they are adequately protected. Even if stored on your property, they are typically not covered under your homeowners insurance.

Solution

Insure your collector cars with a specialized insurance company that focuses on and understands the unique nature of collector or classic cars and other vehicles.

Cyber Risk Coverage
Risk Factor

With more smart technology in homes and technology at your fingertips, malware, hackers, and other cyber threats can jeopardize your security, finances, and reputation.

Solution

Identity theft, personal injury, and cyber risk coverage may be available as an important add-on coverage to your homeowners policy.

Workers Compensation / Employee Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI)
Risk Factor

There are risks associated with employing domestic staff in your home. Employees can become injured on the job, leaving you to pay out-of-pocket for their medical expenses. Additionally, staff can sue for wrongful termination, privacy issues, discrimination, and harassment claims.

Solution

Be sure to obtain coverage for medical expenses when your staff are hurt while on the job. Additionally, employment practices liability insurance can protect you from high legal costs associated with lawsuits and additional claims from current and past employees.

Additional Living Expense
Risk Factor

When there is substantial damage to your home due to unexpected events such as lightning, fire, or a storm, you may not be able to live in your home until it can be repaired or rebuilt. As a result, you could incur additional living expenses for lodging, food, and other daily needs.

Solution

Look for coverage that provides higher limits to ensure that your schedule and your standard of living is not compromised. Additional living expense coverage compensates you for the costs incurred for housing and other living expenses if a covered event makes your home temporarily uninhabitable while it’s being repaired or rebuilt.

Excess Liability Coverage
Risk Factor

You invite guests over for a pool party and one of them dives into the shallow end of the pool and is permanently injured. They hire a lawyer to represent them and after a long legal battle, you and your family are left financially responsible for their injuries.

Solution

An excess liability (or umbrella policy) increases your personal liability limits by adding protection over and above your current auto, boat or homeowners policies. Excess liability insurance is available as separate coverage and offers additional peace-of-mind knowing that you have the protection you need.

Fire
Risk Factor

Most fires are devastating. Besides the emotional impact, the physical damage to your home can be significant. If you lost your home to fire, do you have adequate insurance to replace your home and its contents? Remember, inflation rates on building materials and construction costs rarely track with real estate values. As a result, rebuilding a home can often cost significantly more than expected.

Solution

Make sure your homeowners policy contains replacement cost coverage with no cap. This protects you if the cost to reconstruct your home is higher than your current limit of coverage. And, be sure that your insurance includes rebuilding your home to code. Very often, local ordinances and building codes change over time, which may require additional costs.

Personal Liability
Risk Factor

In the unfortunate event that someone slips and falls while on your property, you and your family may be held liable for any injuries that result.

Solution

Your homeowners policy includes personal liability coverage to respond to incidents where injuries or damages occur to a third party where you may be deemed negligent. However, you should consider purchasing an excess liability policy to provide additional coverage limits to protect your assets in case a lawsuit is brought against you.

Flood Coverage
Risk Factor

You do not have to live near a body of water to suffer loss due to flooding. With the changing weather patterns and more damaging storms occurring around the globe, flood losses are becoming more common in places that are not normally prone to flood damage. Your homeowners policy does not cover damage from flooding. Could your home be at risk?

Solution

Purchase a flood insurance policy to protect your home and covered contents from certain types of flood losses as designated by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In the U.S., a flood policy is purchased as a separate policy through the federal program (NFIP) or through a servicing carrier known as a write-your-own carrier. Additionally, you may be able to purchase excess limits on your homeowners policy to better protect your home.

Secondary Home / Rentals
Risk Factor

Owning a secondary home or rental property has the potential of increasing your liability exposures.

Solution

Be certain that you extend the liability coverage under your homeowners policy to include your secondary home. You should also consider including the secondary home under an excess liability policy to provide for additional liability limits.

Travel Insurance
Risk Factor

Traveling is exciting, but there are risks associated with every trip. Whether for work or pleasure, reducing stress always improves the travel experience. If you travel to another country, the insurance policies you have may not be applicable. Other things to consider are costs associated with crime, injury, or death while traveling.

Solution

Various types of travel insurance are available that may offer protection in case of lost baggage, trip cancellation or delays, or trip interruption. You may also want to consider policies that cover accidental death and dismemberment, as well as the repatriation of remains.

Equipment Breakdown
Risk Factor

While your homeowners policy covers a wide array of perils, such as damage caused by a fire or a falling tree, it doesn’t cover some common types of problems that can occur to the equipment in or around your home. For example, a sudden surge from the local power plant might damage appliances, HVAC systems, or your home power generator.

Solution

Add mechanical breakdown coverage to your homeowners policy. If you have multiple homes, it can be purchased for each one individually. Keep in mind that while it does protect against major events, it does not cover normal wear and tear.

Special Event Coverage
Risk Factor

Planning a wedding, bar mitzvah, bat mitzvah, family reunion, or other private event is stressful enough. The last thing you should worry about is severe weather that could cause you to postpone the event. Or, what happens is a vendor goes out of business or declares bankruptcy before your event and you lose your deposit?

Solution

No matter how carefully you plan, things outside of your control can go wrong. Purchase insurance coverage for your event. It’s typically not very expensive and helps keep you focused on all of the things that go into making your event truly memorable.

Mold Coverage
Risk Factor

Insurance companies often limit coverage to remediate mold that arises from a covered loss.

Solution

With many homeowners unaware of this risk or the limits of their own coverage, be sure to discuss the coverage options and loss prevention solutions to help reduce this risk.

A real-world example of how high net worth insurance works.

High net worth insurance is unique in how it is designed, and it shows in the way that it works. For example, you may want to look for insurance coverage that helps cover the costs to repair a damaged vehicle using the repair shop of your choice and factory-original parts. You may also want to have your vehicle insured for the agreed value rather than the market value. This means that you and the insurance company agree to the payout amount upfront in the event of a total loss claim.

   Does your policy cover you while traveling?

Not all insurance companies offer coverage that extends to people who frequently travel outside of the country, so it’s important to select a policy that includes options such as auto liability, kidnap, ransom, and medical evacuation coverage.

  Does your policy include coverage for your secondary home?

If you own multiple homes, you’ll need a high net worth insurance policy that extends liability coverage to your secondary home. Excess liability coverage may also be added for additional liability limits.

Specific coverage options for unique risks.

Of course, there are other unique risks to consider that might be more customized to your lifestyle. Household help, such as nannies or landscaping crews, identity theft, international travel, and more all have specialized insurance solutions to help protect your wealth.

Generally, individuals with a home replacement value exceeding $1 million to $2 million, or total investable assets over $5 million, qualify for specialized HNW insurance tiers.

Standard insurance uses rigid formulas and strict caps. HNW insurance offers highly tailored coverage, higher liability thresholds, cash-out options, and concierge claim services.

Top specialty carriers Coleman Insurance uses include Chubb, PURE (Privilege Underwriters Reciprocal Exchange), Cincinnati Insurance, and Vault.

Yes, standard policies from admitted carriers are overseen by the Georgia Office of the Commissioner of Insurance. However, many ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) assets are placed in the more flexible, less-regulated Surplus Lines market.

Yes, HNW carriers prefer bundling your primary estate, secondary vacation homes, exotic cars, private collections, and umbrella liability under one master policy.

For a home valued at $3 million, annual premiums typically range from $8,000 to $22,000+, depending on the home’s exact proximity to coastal zones or wildfire-prone forested areas.

It ensures that if your estate is completely destroyed, the insurer will pay 100% of the cost to rebuild it exactly as it was, even if the cost exceeds your policy’s structural limits.

Estates in historic districts (like Savannah’s Historic District or Atlanta’s Inman Park) feature plasterwork, hand-carved millwork, or antique brick that drastically spike rebuilding costs and premium metrics.

If your estate suffers a total loss, premium carriers allow you to take a full cash settlement instead of rebuilding on the exact same plot of land.

Yes, it automatically includes unlimited or high-cap coverage to pay for the cost of bringing an older home up to modern Georgia building codes during repairs.

Yes, vacation properties (like lake houses on Lake Oconee or coastal retreats on St. Simons Island) often sit vacant, increasing the risk of undetected water leaks or theft, which raises rates.

Installing integrated water leak shut-off valves, 24/7 monitored fire/theft alarms, and backup generators can slash HNW property rates by 15% to 25%

HNW policies usually bypass small $500 deductibles, favoring $2,500, $5,000, or $10,000 base deductibles to keep annual premium costs stable.

Yes, standard policies cap landscaping coverage at low amounts, but HNW policies offer expanded limits to replace rare flora, manicured gardens, and mature estate trees damaged by storms.

Low-lying coastal enclaves like Sea Island, Wilmington Island, and Skidaway Island face severe threats from Atlantic hurricanes and storm surges.

Instead of a flat dollar deductible, coastal properties often face a percentage deductible (e.g., 2% to 5% of the home’s total insured value) for damage caused by hurricanes or tropical storms.

Yes, while mass-market homes often rely on the Georgia Underwriting Association (GUA) for wind coverage, premier HNW carriers can underwrite wind and hail risks internally for highly fortified homes.

Building with impact-resistant glass, reinforced concrete foundations, and certified hurricane straps can yield deep premium discounts.

Standard FEMA NFIP policies cap out at $250,000. HNW individuals must buy Excess Private Flood Insurance to cover structures valued into the millions.

Insuring a collection of exotics (e.g., Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren) can cost anywhere from $4,000 to $15,000+ annually per vehicle, depending heavily on usage metrics.

Unlike standard “Actual Cash Value” (which factors in depreciation), Agreed Value guarantees the insurer will pay a fixed, pre-determined sum if the vehicle is totaled.

Yes, vehicles kept in private, secured, climate-controlled garages with 24/7 security monitoring qualify for significant premium discounts.

Yes, premium policies grant you the freedom to send your vehicle to specialized, factory-authorized restoration shops rather than a network of commercial body shops.

It extends your high-limit liability protections to luxury vehicles you rent or lease anywhere in the world, bypassing local rental agency upsells.

Standard HNW policies strictly exclude track driving or racing. If you take your Porsche to Road Atlanta, you must purchase separate, specialized track-day insurance.

You secure a specialized Inland Marine Floater (often called a “valuable articles schedule”) attached to your primary HNW property policy.

Jewelry insurance typically costs between 1% and 2% of the item’s total appraised value per year (e.g., $1,500 annually to insure a $100,000 diamond ring).

Fine art is statistically safer than jewelry, carrying much lower rates—often ranging from 0.1% to 0.5% of the collection’s appraised value annually.

Yes, if a painting is damaged and loses market value even after professional restoration, HNW policies cover the diminished value differential.

Experts recommend comprehensive professional appraisals every 3 to 5 years to adjust coverage limits to shifting global auction markets.

If a piece of art increases in value and is destroyed before your next appraisal cycle, premier policies will pay up to 150% of the scheduled amount to reflect current market value.

Yes, if you keep high-value jewelry secured in a bank vault or certified home safe, carriers will slash the item’s specific premium tier, provided you notify them when removing it for wear.

An umbrella policy sits on top of your primary home and auto liability limits, protecting your total personal net worth against catastrophic, multi-million dollar lawsuits.

A general rule of thumb is to match your total net worth, with typical HNW umbrella limits starting at $5 million and extending past $50 million to $100 million.

For a family with two homes and three luxury vehicles, a $5 million umbrella policy averages $600 to $1,200 annually.

As limits scale upward, the cost per million decreases. A $20 million umbrella layer can range from $2,500 to $5,500+ per year.

Yes, personal injury coverage is standard in premier umbrella policies, which is essential for prominent public figures, corporate executives, or highly visible families.

Many premium HNW umbrella policies include not-for-profit Director’s and Officer’s (D&O) liability to protect your personal assets from board-related litigation.

Carriers mandate high base limits on your primary home and auto policies, typically requiring 500/500/100 or a flat $1,000,000 single liability limit before the umbrella kicks in.

Yes, you need Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) and potentially private Workers’ Compensation to protect against employee lawsuits or on-the-job injuries.

All domestic staff who operate your vehicles must be vetted via a Motor Vehicle Report (MVR) and officially listed as authorized operators on your auto schedule.

You need a dedicated Marine Yacht Policy that handles hull damage, protection and indemnity (P&I) liability, and environmental fuel spill cleanup costs.

Annual premiums typically average 1.5% to 3% of the yacht’s total value, scaling upward if you cruise outside of US coastal waters into hurricane-prone Caribbean lanes.

Private jets or fractional ownership arrangements (like NetJets) require highly specialized aviation hull and liability policies managed by niche corporate aviation underwriters.

The most effective strategy is raising your deductibles across your property portfolios to $25,000 or $50,000.

It is a multi-policy discount applied when you place your primary home, vacation homes, vehicles, watercraft, and umbrella liabilities under a single unified carrier

Yes, continuous-power backup generators prevent frozen pipes, mold growth from failed AC systems, and security system blackouts during severe Georgia power outages.

It is a specialized policy add-on that covers data restoration, specialist forensic consulting fees, and cryptocurrency ransom demands if your home networks or smart-home ecosystems are breached.

Standalone or bundled personal cyber policies usually range from $500 to $2,500 annually, depending on the total limits selected.

Yes, premium carriers generally include high-limit identity fraud restoration and legal support as a complimentary or low-cost addition to the master policy.

A carrier that does not follow standard state rate caps but is financially stable. They specialize in writing highly complex, hyper-expensive, or high-risk properties that standard companies reject.

Generally yes, and they include unique state surplus lines taxes and non-refundable fees that add 3% to 5% to the total upfront premium invoice.

Surging costs for specialized construction labor, structural steel, and imported custom materials mean an estate built for $5 million five years ago may now require $8 million to replace, driving up premiums.

Conforming policies follow traditional underwriting rules, while non-conforming structures (like mega-mansions over 25,000 sq ft) require bespoke, custom-written policy forms.

Yes, if your estate is unlivable due to a fire or storm, HNW carriers pay for unlimited or high-cap Loss of Use to rent an equivalent luxury property while yours is rebuilt.

Instead of standard drive-by checkups, carriers send specialized risk consultants to map your home’s architectural dimensions, evaluate construction elements, and check electrical infrastructures.

Some elite carriers waive your deductible entirely if a covered loss exceeds a certain threshold (e.g., if a fire causes over $50,000 in damage).

Yes, but the trust or LLC must be officially named on the insurance policy as an “Additional Insured” or “Named Insured” to prevent coverage gaps during a claim.

It can add slight administrative underwriting review steps, but it rarely increases the core premium rate as long as the underlying exposures are clearly mapped.

Yes, but highly valuable wine collections should be specifically scheduled on a Wine and Spirits Floater to protect against climate-control system failures.

Only if you buy a specific endorsement covering mechanical breakdown or power interruption affecting your custom cooling units.

These are typically itemized on a global garment and fashion schedule, protecting pieces from loss, theft, or transit damage during global travel.

Some carriers offer Stalking and Threat Mitigation endorsements that pay for private security details, home defensive upgrades, or temporary relocation if an explicit threat is validated.

They are covered for basic physical damage on the estate, but if driven on public roads (common in master-planned communities like Peachtree City), they require a specific LSV auto liability rider.

Equipment Breakdown Coverage should be added to handle sudden power surges or electrical failures that destroy highly sensitive home theater arrays and smart-automation servers.

Affluent families often employ protective breeds (e.g., Belgian Malinois). If your breed is excluded by standard auto/home policies, HNW umbrella policies can wrap around this risk, though they may require specialized canine handling certifications.

While basic policies exclude war and insurrection, specialized global asset floaters can extend coverage to overseas collections held in private vaults during local regional civil issues.

At least once a year via a formal risk audit, or immediately following any significant corporate liquidation event, real estate purchase, or high-value auction acquisition.

No, mass-market online tools cannot accurately calculate multi-million dollar replacement values, unique liabilities, or custom collection asset arrays. Affluent families should secure coverage exclusively through an independent HNW risk advisor or specialty wealth broker.
