If you own fine art or other collectibles, it’s wise to have them adequately insured and to keep the insured amounts current as your collection’s value increases.<\/p>\n
If your collection is limited to a few items, you may have enough coverage under the personal property portion of your home insurance policy. That said, it’s still worth creating a detailed inventory of your valuable items, including photos and videos.<\/p>\n
If your collection is more extensive, you’ll likely need specialized insurance.<\/p>\n
Consult with your agent at Clockwork Insurance Services in Metairie, LA, to properly insure your fine art and collectibles. High-value items typically require an appraisal, and the appraiser you work with needs professional credentials that are acceptable to your insurance underwriter.<\/p>\n
You’ll want an appraisal that reflects a realistic valuation of your items, especially if you’re seeking replacement value coverage.<\/p>\n
If you feel the appraisal amount is inaccurate, you can submit supporting evidence, such as a recent auction sale of a similar item, or request a second opinion from a different appraiser.<\/p>\n
Update your appraisals at least once a year, and more often if the value of your items changes significantly, to make sure you have adequate protection.<\/p>\n
If you move your items or their security risk changes, such as temporarily lending a piece to a museum for display, be sure to inform your insurance carrier and make coverage adjustments as needed with the help of your agent.<\/p>\n
