Q: What are the insurance requirements on a leased car?

A: If you're leasing a vehicle, the requirements are usually a bit higher than standard coverage.

Q: What does home insurance cover?

A: Homeowners insurance can help protect your home, your personal belongings, and your finances. It typically includes coverage for the structure of your home, your belongings, liability protection, and additional living expenses if your home becomes uninhabitable due to a covered loss. Have questions? Ted in Fort Lauderdale can walk you through your options.

Q: How does life insurance work?

A: Life insurance provides a payout to your beneficiaries if you pass away while the policy is active, helping offer financial protection. Ted works with Fort Lauderdale residents to find coverage that fits.

Q: What exactly is renters insurance and how does it work?

A: Renters insurance is a simple way to help protect your personal belongings and provide liability coverage while you're renting. Since your landlord's policy typically covers the building itself, this type of coverage is designed to help protect you and the things you own.
