Q: What is your Broker of Record Procedure?
A: We will only accept a Broker of Record letter at the time
of renewal. The Broker of Record letter must be received at least 5 calendar
days prior to the renewal date.
The Broker of Record letter must be submitted on the Insured's
letterhead or an Acord form and include the name of the broker as it appears on
their insurance license. Broker of Record letters must be signed and currently
dated by the corporate office, partner, sole proprietor, or manager and/or
managing member of Limited Liability Companies (LLC's). The signing individual
must have the authority to execute the Broker of Record letter. We will then
notify the incumbent broker and allow 5 calendar days to obtain a rescinding
Broker of Record letter. The 5-day period may not be waived, except by the
incumbent broker.
