In the United States someone becomes a victim of identity theft every 2 seconds!

The risk of personal financial loss can come in many forms, identity theft seems to be rampant in today's world.  Sadly the perpetrators are not always strangers to the insured.  They can be trusted individuals, such as caretakers, financial advisers and private staff.

The standard homeowner's policy typically does not include identity theft protection. Although the policy does include some coverage for personal property, reimbursement is subject to a monetary limit.

Fortunately fraud protection is available! This coverage may be added as an endorsement to your high value homeowner's policy through a preferred writer such as AIG and Chubb.

 The standard homeowner's policy typically does not include identity theft protection. Although the policy does include some coverage for personal property, reimbursement is subject to a monetary limit.
