| Stated Amount |
In your policy, you may choose to cover certain items for a specific amount. In the event of loss, the insurer pays the stated amount regardless of the property's actual value. If, for example, you insured a painting for a stated amount of $15,000, in the event of theft, you would recover the $15,000 (minus your deductible), even if the painting had accrued value after the policy had been signed.
