XXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX. An AOB is an agreement that, once signed, transfers the insurance claims rights or benefits of the policy to a third-party. An AOB gives the third-party authority to file a claim, make repair decisions, and collect insurance payments without the involvement of the homeowner. AOBs have been used with life and health insurance policies for many years. However, it is now also being commonly used in homeowners’ insurance claims by restoration companies and contractors. Signing an AOB can be helpful with navigating the claims process, but if misused, it can lead to harmful consequences for the homeowner. • You are asked to sign over your benefits in order to start the repair process. • The document includes language that is similar to a power of attorney for the handling of the claim - this power gives the third- party the right to negotiate and endorse checks or hire an attorney or public adjuster on your behalf. • The language requires that all claim proceeds be made payable to an entity or individual other than you or your mortgage company. • The language prevents your insurance company from communicating directly with you about your claim. You should also be aware of contracts or companies o¦ering “free” services or o¦ering to reduce or waive your policy deductible. Florida law prohibits contractors from paying, waiving, or rebating all or any part of an insurance deductible for repairs to property covered by an insurance policy. An AOB can be helpful with navigating the claims process, but if misused it can lead to harmful consequences. Below are a few things to keep in mind: • You are signing over the rights and benefits of your insurance policy to a third-party. • Depending on the language in the AOB, the insurance company may only be permitted to communicate directly with the third-party and you may lose all rights to the insurance claim, including the right to mediate the claim, or to make any decisions regarding the claim, including repairs. • Depending on the language in the AOB, the third-party may be able to endorse checks on your behalf. • Once you have signed an AOB, the third-party may file suit against your insurance company.
