The New ACORD Certificates of Insurance

By Brent Winans
January 30, 2013

The Certificate and Evidence of Insurance forms that ACORD (Association for Cooperative Operations Research and Development) made effective in late 2009/early 2010 have raised alarm among insurance certificate holders and their attorneys. Many real estate attorneys include insurance provisions in the leases they draft, and they should be aware of these changes. Unless insurers issue manuscript endorsements to their policies (which is unlikely), they no longer make any pledge that they will even attempt to notify the certificate holders if the policies are cancelled. The new certificate forms have eliminated the assurance that the insurer would “endeavor to mail __ days written notice to the certificate holder.” They simply state that ” … should any of the above described policies be cancelled before the expiration date thereof, notice will be delivered in accordance with the policy provisions.”

This method has become increasingly popular even beyond the sport of baseball.
