ACORD 28 Instructions

ACORD 28 (2006/07) 1 of 10 Universal wording updates to improve clarity and intent were made to all FIG text for this form on 05/29/2009.
Section Name Field Name Field and/or Section Description
TITLE ACORD 28 (2006/07) Evidence of Commercial Property Insurance The title of the form. ACORD 28, Evidence of Commercial Property Insurance, provides a coverage statement for mortgagees, additional insureds and loss payees who provide mortgages or loans on real property or business personal property insured under a Commercial Lines policy, and are named in the policy. Insurance coverage on large commercial property can have many variables. Coverages, coinsurance percentages, deductibles and other details can vary widely and are important considerations to mortgagees and other lenders. In addition, The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act and the recent increase in exposure to mold and fungus losses have resulted in a greater need to know more about the specific terms of the insurance contract. ACORD 28 provides check boxes and pre-printed text to communicate important insurance details. The intent is to minimize follow-up conversations and correspondence with respect to information that is required in most cases involving large commercial real estate. ACORD 28 provides information about coverages currently in force on a policy. IMPORTANT
TITLE Use ACORD 27, Evidence of Property Insurance, to provide information to mortgagees and loss payees who provide mortgages or loans on residential property, personal property or small commercial properties where less detail is required by the mortgagee or loss payee. IMPORTANT Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma and Wisconsin require the filing of certificate of insurance forms. ACORD has filed all of its certificates in these states. In these states, the text of ACORD's certificates cannot be modified, unless the modified form is filed for approval by the respective state Department of Insurance.
