What type of property coverage does the Scheduled Personal Property Endorsement provide?

The Scheduled Personal Property Endorsement specifically provides open peril coverage for items that are listed (or scheduled) on the policy. This type of coverage means that all risks of physical loss or damage are covered, except for those risks that are explicitly excluded in the policy.

This is significant for policyholders because it offers broader protection for valuable personal items, such as jewelry, fine art, collectibles, or furs, compared to other types of coverage that might limit protection to named perils only. With open peril coverage, the burden of proof lies with the insurer to demonstrate that a specific loss is not covered under the policy, rather than the policyholder having to show that a loss is covered, which is the case with named peril policies.

This type of endorsement enhances overall homeowners' or renters' insurance by ensuring that high-value items are adequately protected, making it a preferred option for those with significant personal property investments.
