Success brings opportunity. It also brings complexity. Multiple homes, custom renovations, luxury vehicles, fine art, jewelry collections, travel exposure, domestic staff, and increased personal visibility all introduce risks that standard insurance policies are not designed to handle.
High net worth insurance is not simply higher limits on a standard homeowners policy. It is a tailored risk management strategy built for individuals and families whose assets, lifestyle, and liability exposure require a more sophisticated level of protection. At Craven Insurance, we understand that protecting wealth is about preserving legacy, privacy, and peace of mind.
What Makes High Net Worth Insurance Different?
A traditional insurance policy often focuses on replacement cost and basic liability. A high value home insurance policy is structured to reflect architectural uniqueness, premium materials, custom finishes, and higher rebuild costs. It may include guaranteed replacement cost coverage, broader loss settlement options, and enhanced claims service.
High net worth families also face greater personal liability exposure. Increased visibility, larger properties, domestic employees, teenage drivers, and public roles can elevate risk. A comprehensive personal umbrella liability policy becomes a critical layer of financial protection.
Core Components of a High Net Worth Insurance Program
| Coverage Area | Enhanced Protection |
|---|---|
| High Value Home Insurance | Guaranteed replacement cost and broader property coverage |
| Luxury Auto Insurance | Agreed value coverage and higher liability limits |
| Personal Umbrella Liability | Additional liability protection above home and auto limits |
| Valuable Articles Insurance | Coverage for jewelry, fine art, collectibles, and wine |
| Cyber & Identity Protection | Personal cyber liability and identity theft response |
These components work together as a coordinated private client insurance portfolio, designed to respond seamlessly in the event of a claim.
Property Protection Beyond the Basics
Custom homes often include imported stone, handcrafted cabinetry, specialty roofing, advanced smart home systems, and high-end landscaping. Rebuilding these features requires skilled labor and specialty materials.
Luxury homeowners insurance typically offers:
- Guaranteed or extended replacement cost
- Cash settlement options
- Higher limits for landscaping and outdoor features
- Backup of sewer and water coverage
- Equipment breakdown protection
For secondary residences or vacation homes, coordinated coverage ensures consistent protection across properties.
Personal Liability in a Public World
As net worth increases, so does the likelihood of being named in a lawsuit. Social media activity, hosting events, employing household staff, and owning recreational vehicles or watercraft all add exposure.
A robust personal umbrella insurance policy provides additional liability limits—often starting at $1 million and extending far beyond. This coverage can respond to claims involving bodily injury, property damage, defamation, or certain personal injury allegations.
Valuable Articles and Collections
Fine art, jewelry, watches, collectibles, and rare wine collections often exceed the sublimits found in standard policies. Valuable articles insurance provides agreed value coverage, worldwide protection, and broader causes of loss.
Appraisals, documentation, and proper scheduling are essential. A tailored policy ensures that cherished assets are protected at their full insured value.

The Importance of Privacy and Claims Service
For high net worth families, discretion and service matter. Specialized carriers often provide dedicated claims advocates, risk consultations, and home appraisals. When a loss occurs, response speed and expertise make all the difference.
