Whose Stuff Is Not Covered Under Home Insurance Policy

Beware of coverage loopholes like whose property is NOT covered under your Homeowners Policy.
Are Domestic Partners and their "stuff" Covered under a Homeowners Policy?
   Let's look at who is considered an insured on your homeowners Insurance Policy?  
   If a couple has been living together at least a year then one of our companies allows
   the  Domestic Partner Endorsement on for free but your agent has to be aware of this to
   even let you know about it. You should let your agent know if you have a domestic partner.
   It is your responsibility to read your policy and know
   who is considered an insured.

  If you are living with a significant other then ask if there is an endorsement called Domestic Partner
  Endorsement. You would not want your significant other's cloths, furniture,  jewelry (careful about how much jewelry is covered without scheduling it!), computer, TV etc
  not to be covered if there was theft, fire and other perils...would you? 


It is very clear in homeowners policy language whose stuff is covered.
From A Mass Homeowners Policy:
DEFINITIONSA. In this policy, "you" and "your" refer to the "named
insured" shown in the Declarations and the spouse
if a resident of the same household. "We", "us"
and "our" refer to the Company providing this insurance.

5. "Insured" means:
a. You and residents of your household who are:
(1) Your relatives; or
(2) Other persons under the age of 21 and
in the care of any person named above;
b. A student enrolled in school full time, as
defined by the school, who was a resident
of your household before moving out to attend
school, provided the student is under
the age of:
(1) 24 and your relative; or
(2) 21 and in your care or the care of a
person described in a.(1) above; or
C. Coverage C – Personal Property

an "insured" while it is anywhere in the world.
