UMBRELLA
$2,000,000 is the max umbrella limit we can write. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Umbrella Liability is a form of excess third party liability coverage. A schedule of underlying insurance (primary) must be maintained. It is catastrophe insurance. It must be properly insulated by primary coverage. Underlying insurance includes, but is not limited to:
1. Comprehensive Personal Liability (or FCPL) 2. Auto Liability
Since the policy is subject to drop-down in non-insured situations, you must investigate and describe all risk characteristics the applicant presents.
Underlying policies (outside of Barton Mutual) must be from companies rated B+ or better by AM Best.
Applications: Use ACORD Personal Umbrella application, Form 83. For farm, complete the
supplemental application in the manual (page FUL-18). Photocopy for re-use.
No Binding Authority. We will notify of acceptance of coverage.
Term of Policy will be annual only, and semi-annual or annual installment payments (no
quarterly). A new policy will be issued each year. A new application is required.
On Personal, Farm Umbrella risks, Motor Vehicle Reports (MVR’s) will be required on each
operator on every new risk and at renewal thereafter as follows: 1. Youthful operators (age 25 and under) - every year
2. Any operator with current or past at-fault accidents or violations – every year until record is clear for three years.
3. All other operators – every three years.
Supporting Coverage required, in the form of Homeowner or Farmowner. SCOPE OF COVERAGE

PERSONAL UMBRELLA LIABILITY PROGRAM
I. General
This program contains the rules and rates governing the writing of Personal Umbrella Liability Policies. This insurance is designed to cover personal (non-business) liability of individuals, particularly businesspersons, executives, and professional men and women. Umbrella Liability insurance is provided over declared Primary Liability Insurance.
II. Scope of Coverage

Retained limit is the limit on other policies that the insured is required to carry, or the Self-Insured Retention (Deductible), for those exposures where primary coverage is not required. Ultimate net loss is the amount actually paid in settlement or satisfaction for a loss for which the insured is liable.
III. Limits of Liability
Manual rates and minimum premiums are for a basic policy limit of $1,000,000. Increased limits up to a total policy limit of $2,000,000 may be provided in accordance with the applicable rating rule.
