Challenges of a Broadened Property Definition In the case of policies issued in the United States, this type of definition would rarely be used because the standard commercial Building and Personal Property Coverage Form (CP 00 10 06 07) includes personal property of others that is in the named insured’s care, custody or control and located on their premises. Additionally, there is some limited additional coverage for newly acquired property built into the policy. Therefore, a broadened definition of property would probably be relegated to something very exotic, which normally should be covered in a marine or special form. In other countries this definition may still be useful based on the local policy language. But as with the broadened named insured, accurate valuation may become a major headache for the policy constructors.
