Back to the Basics: Valuable Articles Policy

In this episode of the Reassurance Podcast, Chelsey Rabalais continues the Back to the Basics series with a focused look at valuable articles coverage and why it plays a critical role in protecting what matters most. While many people assume their homeowners or renters policy fully covers jewelry, art, and collectibles, standard policies often include strict sublimits that leave meaningful items underinsured.

Chelsey explains how valuable articles policies, also known as scheduled property coverage, protect high value items such as jewelry, watches, fine art, collectibles, wine and spirits, and musical instruments. These policies typically provide all risk, worldwide coverage with no deductible and claims settled at agreed value rather than depreciated value.

The episode also covers how scheduling and blanket coverage work, when appraisals should be updated, and how modern policies have evolved to reflect current lifestyles. Topics include digital documentation, market appreciation protection, storage considerations, and common mistakes that can lead to uncovered losses.

The key takeaway is that valuable articles coverage is not about excess. It is about ensuring that items tied to memory, milestones, and legacy are protected with the same care used to acquire them.
