Distinguished Programs offers a master policy to condominium associations.
With Distinguished Programs all claims are settled based on the policy wording and not the condominium documents. All Fireman's Fund policies are all-in regardless of how your condo documents are worded.
We still suggest the insurance section in your condominium documents reflect the boards intention to either cover unit improvements or not cover unit improvements. This could prevent a problem if you change insurance carriers from Fireman's Fund and the new insurance company does not offer the all-in endorsement.
