What is forced placed commercial insurance?
Forced placed commercial insurance, also known as lender-placed insurance, is a policy that protects a lender's interest in a commercial property when the property owner fails to maintain adequate insurance coverage. It is typically initiated by the lender to ensure that their investment remains protected in case of damage or loss to the property. This insurance is often required for properties used as collateral for loans or mortgages.
