Anne Stoudt

In Minnesota, May is all about “almost summer” — until the weather reminds us it can still change fast. Clear skies can turn into heavy rain, wind, and even the occasional stormy afternoon. And like the forecast, life doesn’t always stay predictable. That’s why this month is a great time to review your insurance coverage. Have things changed since winter? Spring repairs, new purchases, renovations, higher vehicle values, or updated household belongings can all affect what you’re protected for.

As Minnesotans get ready for time on the water, one item people often forget to review is their dock coverage. If you just put your dock in (or you will soon), it’s worth checking: is it insured under its own policy, or are you assuming it’s covered well enough under your homeowners policy? The coverage and limits may not be as comprehensive as you expect, especially when it comes to storm damage, water-related risks, or making sure the dock’s value is protected the way you would want. We can help you confirm that your dock has the right coverage in place before you head into the busiest months on the water.

At Anne Stoudt State Farm, we take a proactive approach to helping individuals and families build coverage that keeps up with real life. With a background as a personal injury attorney, Anne brings a unique perspective to insurance, having seen firsthand how coverage gaps can create significant financial hardship.

• Reviewing liability protection so that an unexpected event doesn't cause financial devastation
