It’s true, you have a lot on your “To Do” list if you are planning to move to a new home or to a new business location.

We think it's important to ask your insurance agent these 8 questions. They can help you uncover things that you may need to address prior to the moving date. It is our hope that you move with the confidence of knowing that the things you love most are protected, and make sure the things you leave behind are covered properly as well.

• How are my belongings covered during the move?
• I am planning to store some of my belongings until we get settled. Are my belongings covered while they are in storage?
• I am renting a U-Haul. Am I covered by my auto policy or do I need to buy the coverage they offer? Tip ~ Know the GVW gross vehicle weight of the vehicle before you ask your agent.
• I am hiring a mover? How do I know if they have insurance?
• I am not selling my current home. It is now going to be rented. What should I change about my insurance?
• I am selling my current home. It will be vacant until it is sold. Do I need to change my insurance to reflect that the home is no longer occupied?
• I will be officially moved in on “date”. Will you please change the mailing address on all of my policies?
• Will you please update all of my contact information?
