Illinois Homeowners Insurance Information
Whether you own a house, condominium or townhouse, for most people
their home is their most important investment. Akey Financial Services offers
Illinois homeowners insurance policies that have flexibility to meet your
individual needs and above all, provide you with the security that comes only
from the knowledge that your home is safe.
Insurance for your home is one of the most popular and important forms of
personal insurance and the typical Illinois Homeowners Insurance policy has
two main sections:
Section I - insurance coverage for your property
Section II - personal liability coverage (to cover you in case of lawsuits
arising from things that happen on your property)
Homeowners insurance is often required by lenders to obtain a mortgage
and nearly everyone, whether you own or lease property, should have the
protection of homeowners insurance.

Personal liability in a Illinois homeowners insurance policy is also an important part of having
security from accidents that may occur on your property. We suggest you choose coverage
limits that are not less than those on other liability insurance you own, such as car insurance.

Covered losses under a Illinois homeowners insurance policy can be paid on either a replacement
cost basis or on an actual cash value basis. When "actual cash value" is used, the policy owner is
entitled to the depreciated value of the damaged property. Therefore, the older the item is, the less
money you may receive for it. If you choose the "replacement cost" coverage, the Illinois
homeowners insurance policy will reinburse the amount it costs to replace the property with
something of a similar type and quality at current prices.
Replacement Cost or Actual Cash Value
Illinois Homeowners Insurance Policy FAQ
An "All Risks" policy provides the broadest Illinois homeowners insurance protection because it
will cover losses that are due to any peril except those specifically excluded in the policy. A
"Named Perils" policy covers losses that are due to only those perils listed in the standard Illinois
Homeowners Insurance policy and typically include fire, hail, windstorm, and other physical losses.
All Risks or Named Perils
Illinois Homeowners Insurance Policy FAQ
If your policy limit is less than 80% of the replacement cost of your home, you will face a
"coinsurance penalty," which means you'll have out-of-pocket expenses to cover costs beyond
the policy deductible you chose. For example purposes we will assume your home's estimated
replacement value (RCV) is $100,000. The co-insurance clause requires you carry at least
$80,000 (80% of your RCV). If you chose to purchase only a $40,000 Illinois Homeowners
Insurance policy you would be underinsured by half. Therefore, in the example the insurance
company would pay one-half of a loss less the policy deductible, so if you suffered a $10,000
covered loss to your house, condominium or townhouse and had a $500 deductible, your
policy would only pay $4,500.
