The 4 Parts of Property Protection

Dwelling

This section covers the structure and fixtures within the house such as built-in appliances, plumbing, heating, air-conditioning, attached structures, and electrical wiring.

Other Structures

This section covers any detached structures such as storage sheds, garages, and any fixtures attached to the land. This includes fencing, sidewalks, driveways, patios, and retaining walls. If a detached structure is used for business purposes, it will not be covered under a personal homeowner’s insurance policy.

Personal Property

This section covers personal property including contents and other personal items owned by those living within your home. This protection may involve a replacement cost or actual cash value. You can add extra coverage for these items by adding an endorsement to your homeowner's insurance policy.

Loss of Use

This section covers living expenses resulting from the fact that you cannot live in your home.

The Two Sides to Liability Protection

Personal Liability

This section protects against a claim or lawsuit that results in bodily injury or property damage to others caused by an accident on your property or by your activities anywhere. However, this coverage does not protect auto and business-related incidents but does protect you and all family members who live in the home.

Medical Payments

This section covers persons accidentally injured on your property by paying for medical expenses of persons, regardless of fault. However, they do not cover your injuries or any injuries of family members living in the home, or activities that involve your home business.

Life Insurance

At North Jersey Insurance Group, we offer both whole and universal life insurance to ensure your loved ones are taken care of in the event of your passing. Life insurance policies are tailored for your lifestyle and needs while our agents take great care to ensure you receive proper coverage.

Term life insurance or 'term assurance' provides life insurance coverage during a specified term of years for a specified premium. The policy does not accumulate cash value. The term is generally considered 'pure' insurance, wherein the premium buys protection in the event of death and nothing else.

Whole life insurance provides for a level premium with a cash value table included in the policy guaranteed by the company. The primary advantages of whole life are guaranteed death benefits, cash values, fixed and known annual premiums, as well as mortality and expense charges that will not reduce the cash value shown in the policy.

The primary disadvantages of whole life are premium inflexibility, and the internal rate of return in the policy may not be competitive with other savings alternatives. Riders are available which allows one to increase the death benefit by paying an additional premium. The death benefit can also be increased through the use of policy dividends. Dividends cannot be guaranteed and may be higher or lower than historical rates over time. Premiums are much higher than term insurance in the short-term, but cumulative premiums are roughly equal if policies are kept in force until average life expectancy.

The cash value can be accessed at any time through policy 'loans'. Since these loans decrease the death benefit if not paid back, payback is optional. Cash values are not paid to the beneficiary upon the death of the insured, instead, the beneficiary receives the death benefit only. If the dividend option: Paid-up additions are elected, dividend cash values will purchase additional death benefits which will increase the death benefit of the policy to the named beneficiary.

Universal life insurance is a relatively new insurance product intended to provide permanent insurance coverage with greater flexibility in premium payment and the potential for a higher internal rate of return. There are several types of universal life insurance policies which include 'interest sensitive' (also known as 'traditional fixed universal life insurance'), variable universal life insurance, and equity-indexed universal life insurance.

A universal life insurance policy includes a cash account and premiums increase it. Interest is paid within the policy (credited) on the account at a rate specified by the company. This rate may have a guaranteed minimum (for fixed ULs) or no minimum (for variable ULs). Mortality charges and administrative costs are then charged against (reduce) the cash account. The surrender value of the policy is the amount remaining in the cash account for less applicable surrender charges if any.
