Thanks, Dan!  How "old" of a home would you consider this essential for?  Have you ever needed to make a claim of this type?  What types of things would this cover?  How much would this type of addition cost in your area?  

I live in Alaska, but our family investments are in Michigan.  There are not many "older" homes in Anchorage - most have been built since the pipeline era of the 1970's.

Post: Tax Preparation Software: any that easily enter K1 data?

I have done my own taxes for many years and use H&R Block software and find it easy to use - except for entering data from the K1.  Does anyone use a different type of tax preparation software that handles K1 date easily?
