Why do you need liability insurance on land you do not use?

Liability insuranceIn the Unites States, a landowner can sometimes be held liable for certain occurrences on the owned land. A Landowner is typically NOT held liable for the actions of tenants. This is what Renters Insurance is for. A Tenant can purchase property and liability insurance on a tenants policy. A property owner also is Typically NOT liable for the actions of criminals or others that may have entered your property illegally.So while its a good idea to maintain some type of Liability Insurance for Vacant Land to cover some occurrences where the owner might be liable. One should not presume that the property owner is liable for anything and everything that might occur on the property.

What if the insured of a life insurance policy does not own an estate?

Normally an insured person on a life insurance policy lists another person as his beneficiary. If that person dies first, then when the insured person dies, it goes to his estate. In that case, the term estate does not refer to a piece of land. Estate refers to all of his property: Bank accounts, Insurance policies, unused IRAs, etc. Some of them may be designated and others not. Whatever he owned when he died is his estate as far as the law is concerned.

Is a property owner liable to others if there is fire on the owned property and the automatic sprinklers activate and cause water damage to the property of others?

It depends on how the lease is written. You may be liable if the damage was done as a result of actions caused by the landlord, and as such the landlord is responsible for the sprinkler system. However, you shold be covered under your insurance or better yet the other tenant should be covered under their insurance. The damage was done as a result of a properly working system which contained a fire and any subsequent damage done by the water should be covered by each tenants "renters insurance". Unfortunately without reading the lease I can only speculate. You may need an attorney to read the lease and advise you, you may be able to find it in the lease yourself.
