Increased building costs together with other factors, including any improvements you may have made to your home, are j almost certain to have increased its value con siderably during the past few years. Meanwhile, if the limits of your fire insurance coverage have remained unchanged, you would probably be inadequately compensated for the loss if your house were to be destroyed, A., even partially damaged, b* fire. According tolhe Illinois State Bar association, to be adequately protected against fire or other catastrophe, a home should be insured at 80 percent of ^replacement value, assuming 20 percent of the value is in underground im provements which would escape destruction. In many cases, insurance" at 100 percent of value is desirable, meaning the face value of the policy, plus any increases by en dorsement, should be the same as the current market value of your home. Here are other insurance guidelines offered by the ISBA: The insurance policy should include protection against' a variety of perils, including fire and lightning, windstorm, hail, explosion and possibly riot damage and other perils. A fire j and - extended - coverage policy or package-type Homeowners, or "HO" policy offers this kind of broad coverage. 'j v. The "HO" policyholder who maintains his insurance at 80 percent of value is reimbursed at full repair or replacement cost in event of partial damage to his home. On the other hand, if he is insured at less than that amount, he is compensated for damage only at the rate of replacement cost less depreciation. the policyholder can hedge against future increases in the replacement value of-his home by subscribing to an "in flationary guard endorsement" to his policy: If he does this, the insurance coverage will be ̂ increased automatically ever^ three months at a specified rate designed to keep coverage in line with replacement value.
