Claims Settled at Replacement Cost Value

With Mortgage Guard, claims are settled on a replacement cost basis vs. Actual Cash Value. This results in significantly higher settlement when claims are adjusted on replacement cost basis. Claims are settled at RCV even if the property is not repaired. The decision to repair the property is the lender’s choice.
