Re: Do We need liabilty insurance

Hello. Our Real Estate Attorney just went to a homeowner's meeting yesterday on just this issue. By Statute (Law) Associations must have insurance. The owner may also be sued. Many times owners require them (the owner) to be listed as an additional insured on the policy. I advise getting officers and directors insurance. I have represented several and if there is no insurance, no representation in lawsuits where they are sued as President, etc. will be in place. Any questions, please let me know.
