A certificate of insurance (ACORD 25 or similar) is a summary document, typically one page, that confirms coverage exists but often omits key details like deductible structures and exclusions. When reviewing a condo purchase, request the full declarations page rather than the certificate summary. The certificate is sufficient for confirming basic coverage; the declarations page is required for meaningful analysis."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Why does it matter who is listed as the named insured on the master policy?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The named insured is the entity that has the right to file claims and receive proceeds under the policy. Florida Statute §718.111 specifies that the condominium association must be the named insured on the master policy — not the management company, not the developer, not the property management firm. A policy where the named insured is the management company rather than the association is a red flag: the management company may have different interests than the association in how claims are handled, and the association's claim rights may be legally compromised. This concern also applies in other states, though the statutory specificity varies."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What should I do if the master policy is expiring within 60 days of my closing?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Ask the board or management company whether renewal terms have been confirmed.

Loss assessment coverage is a specific add-on that must be elected on an HO-6 policy. Many default HO-6 policies include a small base amount of loss assessment coverage — often $1,000 to $5,000 — that is inadequate for a high-deductible coastal building. The appropriate limit depends on your realistic per-unit share of the building's windstorm or named-storm deductible. In many coastal Florida and Texas buildings, the right loss assessment limit is $50,000 to $100,000 or more.

A certificate of insurance (ACORD 25 or similar) is a summary document, typically one page, that confirms coverage exists but often omits key details like deductible structures and exclusions. When reviewing a condo purchase, request the full declarations page rather than the certificate summary. The certificate is sufficient for confirming basic coverage; the declarations page is required for meaningful analysis."},{"q":"Why does it matter who is listed as the named insured on the master policy?","a":"The named insured is the entity that has the right to file claims and receive proceeds under the policy. Florida Statute §718.111 specifies that the condominium association must be the named insured on the master policy — not the management company, not the developer, not the property management firm. A policy where the named insured is the management company rather than the association is a red flag: the management company may have different interests than the association in how claims are handled, and the association's claim rights may be legally compromised. This concern also applies in other states, though the statutory specificity varies."},{"q":"What should I do if the master policy is expiring within 60 days of my closing?","a":"Ask the board or management company whether renewal terms have been confirmed. A policy that expires shortly after closing without confirmed renewal terms is a risk — if the association encounters difficulty in the renewal market (common in Florida and coastal Texas), there may be a coverage gap or a significant premium increase that has not yet been reflected in the dues.
