As high net worth individuals embrace the tax and asset protection benefits of placing private property ownership in the name of a trust or LLC, critical insurance coverage issues arise. Few trusted advisors or property owners are aware that the “named insured” insurance contract provisions prohibit the extension of coverage to protect the interests of the real property owner – the trust or LLC – in the event of a covered loss.
