Personal Umbrella Insurance for Whites City Households
Add $1M–$10M of liability protection above your auto and home/condo/renters policies. We set the right underlying limits for New Mexico, coordinate with your landlord or marina needs.
Why Whites City Residents Choose Umbrella Coverage
Rural roads, outdoor activities, potential for accidents with vehicles or livestock, and property risks increase the chance of large liability claims. If a judgment exceeds the limits on your auto or homeowners policy, an umbrella helps protect savings, home equity, and future income.
We’ll sync your base policies with carrier requirements, then add an umbrella limit that fits your household, drivers, and properties.
New Mexico Context: Underlying Policies & Landlord Rules
Auto Policy: Minimum vs Higher Limits
New Mexico requires a minimum auto policy with $25k/$50k bodily injury and $10k property damage, but umbrella carriers typically require higher underlying auto liability—often $100k/$300k or more. If your policy is at minimums, we’ll upgrade your underlying limits to qualify.
Home/Condo/Renters Liability
Most umbrellas require at least $100k personal liability on your homeowners/condo/renters policy. We’ll also look at recreational vehicles, ATVs, and other exposures that may need scheduled underlying coverage.
Landlords & Business Owners
New Mexico law requires owners of rental properties to carry liability insurance. Your personal umbrella generally excludes business pursuits; landlords and business owners often need a landlord or commercial umbrella to sit over those policies.
Whites City Registration
In Whites City, ensure compliance with local property regulations. We’ll coordinate certificates of insurance when your lender, association, or local authorities ask.
Tip: Keep records for driver training, security systems, and any pet training—these can help with underwriting.
