Minnesota Homeowners Insurance
Whether you own a house, condominium or townhouse, for most people their
home is their most important investment. Baecker Insurance Agency offers
Minnesota and Wisconsin homeowners insurance policies that have flexibility to
meet your individual needs and above all, provide you with the security that
comes only from the knowledge that your home is safe.
Home Insurance is one of the most popular forms of personal insurance and the
typical Minnesota Homeowners Insurance policy has two main sections:
Section I - insurance coverage for your property
Section II - personal liability coverage (to cover you in case of lawsuits arising
from things that happen on your property)
Homeowners insurance is often required by lenders to obtain a mortgage and
nearly everyone, whether you own or lease property, should have the
protection of homeowners insurance.

Replacement Cost or Actual Cash Value Option
in Minnesota Homeowners Insurance Policy
Covered losses under a Minnesota homeowners insurance policy can be paid on either a
replacement cost basis or on an actual cash value basis. When "actual cash value" is used, the
policy owner is entitled to the depreciated value of the damaged property. Therefore, the older
the item is, the less money you may receive for it. If you choose the "replacement cost"
coverage, the homeowner insurance policy will reinburse the amount it costs to replace the
property with something of a similar type and quality at current prices.

All Risks or Named Perils in Minnesota Homeowners Insurance Policy
An "All Risks" policy provides the broadest Minnesota homeowners insurance protection
because it will cover losses that are due to any peril except those specifically excluded in the
policy. A "Named Perils" policy covers losses that are due to only those perils listed in the
standard Minnesota Homeowners Insurance policy and typically include fire, hail, windstorm,
and other physical losses.

Coinsurance Penalty in Minnesota Homeowners Insurance Policy
If your policy limit is less than 80% of the replacement cost of your home, you will face a
"coinsurance penalty," which means you'll have out-of-pocket expenses to cover costs beyond
the policy deductible you chose. For example purposes we will assume your home's estimated
replacement value (RCV) is $100,000. The co-insurance clause requires you carry at least
$80,000 (80% of your RCV). If you chose to purchase only a $40,000 Minnesota Homeowners
Insurance policy you would be underinsured by half. Therefore, in the example the insurance
company would pay one-half of a loss less the policy deductible, so if you suffered a $10,000
covered loss to your house, condominium or townhouse and had a $500 deductible, your policy
would only pay $4,500.

Personal Liability in a Minnesota Homeowners Insurance Policy
Personal liability in a Minnesota homeowners insurance policy is also an important part of
having security from accidents that may occur on your property. We suggest you choose
coverage limits that are not less than those on other liability insurance you own, such as car
insurance.
