When does standard personal insurance stop being enough?
Standard personal insurance works for most households. There's a threshold — defined less by income than by complexity — where it starts to leave gaps. Tick what applies and we'll tell you which side of the line you're on.

If you cross.
Coverage forms broaden
Extended replacement cost on homes (no rebuild cap), agreed value on collectibles, blanket scheduled-articles coverage, broader liability triggers — written into the form, not bolted on.
Limits stop being a ceiling
$5M+ umbrellas, six- and seven-figure jewelry schedules, primary residences without rebuild caps. The carrier underwrites the household, not the form.
Service is structurally different
Your claim adjuster knows the household, the assets, and the relationship. White-glove handling that doesn't happen on standard policies because the economics don't allow it.
Pricing isn't always more
For the right risk profile, HNW carriers are competitive. The bigger savings come from packaging properly across home, auto, umbrella, and watercraft on one carrier.
Or you're not here if ,
- Single home under $1M to rebuild, no significant collections, standard daily-driver vehicles
- Net worth concentrated in retirement accounts (typically protected) with modest taxable assets
- No board service, no rental properties, no public-facing profile
Three doors.
