    The primary insured is normally the name that is written on the deed. Some insurance companies don’t like to name an inter-vivo trust. The name of a natural person would be accepted. The reason these should be the same is to make sure that there is full liability coverage should anyone sue the property owner.

    Generally the Name of the Owner needs to be on the name of the insurance. It can get a bit confusing when you are talking about Revocable Trusts and Such. Many companies handle these slightly differently.

    If your home is held in an odd form of ownership, you will want to contact a good insurance agent or broker to assist you.

    If you wish to add an additional person as a additional insured you would also want to speak with a broker or agent.
