Possible Causes of a Home Insurance Lapse in Coverage

• The most common cause is forgetting to make payments each month, this can often be remedied by making the payment as soon as you remember and contacting your agent. 

• Changes to your property that are not covered by your current insurance policy. To fix this contact your agent and discuss changes that need to be made to your policy that reflect the changes to the property. 

• Misrepresentation or even fraud are sometimes the cause of cancellation, in these cases, the client typically is not interested in reinstatement.
