Condo Insurance & Assessment Planning

Organize Hawaiʻi condo master-policy deductibles, HO-6 questions, assessment exposure, association records, and insurance documents before buying.

Review the building and the unit together. A unit policy cannot be evaluated well without the association master policy, current deductibles, governing documents, budget, reserves, assessments, and insurance requirements.

Decision path

Use the cluster in order

  1. Request the current master-policy declarations and association documents.
  2. Ask a licensed insurance professional to explain what the master policy and proposed HO-6 policy do and do not cover.
  3. Model—not predict—possible deductible and assessment exposure using the actual allocation method when known.
  4. Review reserves, budgets, minutes, projects, claims, and assessments with the appropriate professionals before relying on the result.
