If you find yourself in a situation without umbrella insurance, but you are mandated to pay fees that exceed what you have, you will need to sell assets to cover the distance. Below are some of the personal and commercial items that qualify as assets:
Home/ Land
Additional homes/ rental properties
Vehicles (personal and commercial)
