Home Insurance – Do You Even Need It
Is home insurance required by law? Do you need to get home owner insurance? The answer all depends on your situation.
Car insurance –or some sort of proof of financial responsibility — is pretty much required by state law, no matter where you live. However, home insurance is different in that it is not required by law. Your bank or mortgage lender though, will require that you have home owner insurance coverage or they won’t finance your home. This is so they can protect their interests; if you’re home is damaged or burns down and you default on your loan, they can still recoup their investment.
What’s more, if you live in a flood-prone region your bank or mortgage company will probably require flood insurance which is sold as a separate policy.

First, there is the premium which is the amount of money that you will pay monthly or at another time interval. An installment fee will be added if you choose anything other than the annual payment.
Then there is your deductible. If you have a covered claim your deductible is the amount of money that that you will be responsible for before the insurance company begins to pay the claim. The higher the deductible, the less you would have to pay for your premiums. Note that you should choose an affordable deductible because t is the money that you will have to pay at the time of claim.
