In this episode you will learn:
- A binder is a temporary, legally binding contract providing immediate insurance coverage until a formal policy is issued.
- Only agents with 'binding authority' from an insurer can issue a binder, committing the company to the risk.
- Binders must contain essential details like the insurer's name, coverage limits, effective date, and covered perils.
- A binder is different from a certificate of insurance; a binder provides temporary coverage, while a certificate summarizes an existing policy.
- Binders typically last 30-90 days and terminate automatically when the final policy is delivered.
