income taxes ? no insurance payments are exempt
If you owned it, you claim on your insurance.
You will have to check your home owner's policy. It is a contract that you have with the insurance company and will specify how long you have to file a claim.
Definetely you can claim for the damages caused by the tree falling on your house. The Insurance companies cover these damages under the property insurance. Just you have provide the photos of the damaged house aas an evidence to claim your money.
Probably. Contact your insurance. They may file against your neighbor's insurance.
If your name is on the deed, it is your house. A judge's decision should go in your favour if you have paid the insurance and taxes because she has no real claim to owning the property.
Only if the insured incident occured before the sale of the house (and the claim placed prior to sale). It is at the date of the claim not relevant to selling.
The time limit to file for an insurance claim in Illinois depends on the type of claim it is, such as house or car. Typically you have one year form the date of the incident to file. Your insurance company may set different limits.
By "only when you need it" do you mean only when you are aware of a claim or potential claim? If so, the answer is "NO". You cannot buy insurance on a burning house, so to speak.
Sure, you can make a claim for the damage done to the car if you have physical damage coverage. As for the home, only your home insurance will pay for the damage to the house. The house insurance will not pay for a car and an auto policy will not pay for a house. Even if the same incident gets both.
When you get insurance on a car, a house, a boat, you pay the insurance company money, known as premiums. The insurance company invests that money. When there is a claim, some of the premium, along with some of the interest from the invested money, is used to pay the claim.
You can make a claim, but if you are claiming the same damages that is insurance fraud and it is a federal crime. If you have unrelated damages you can make a claim, or you can disclose the prior claim to your insurance carrier and they will advise you if there is any coverage that would apply.
