Fireman's Fund Insurance Company offers the Property-Gard policy to condominium associations.

The Travelers SelectPac makes the master policy refer to the condominium documents. This means the insurance adjuster is to refer to the by-laws in the event of a claim and interpret what the by-laws intend to cover at the time of loss.

Review the insurance section of your by-laws. Be sure the wording is what your condo board wants.  Are the trustees required to insure unit-improvements? Is the insurance section confusing, does it refer to unit improvements subsequent to the first sale? If the by-laws are unclear on what the master policy should cover it can only cause confusion when a claims occur. You may want to consult your attorney.
