A licensed public adjusting firm for Minnesota associations.

A public adjuster represents the policyholder on a first-party property claim. We represent policyholders, not insurance companies. On an association claim, that is normally the association named as the insured on the master policy’s declarations page.

Minnesota law says a person may not act or hold out as a public adjuster unless licensed as one, or exempt, under Minnesota's adjuster licensing law (Minn. Stat. 72B.03, subd. 1(a)). Resolution Claims Consulting, LLC holds Minnesota firm license #40893260, and its designated responsible licensed public adjuster is William J. Addis (Minnesota individual license #40771302).

This page covers association property in Minnesota.

How a public adjuster works for an association.

Once the board signs a written public adjuster contract:

  1. Policy review. A public adjuster reads the master policy and declarations page, including how the deductible is written and any separate wind or hail deductible.
  2. Documentation. The damage is documented building by building and unit by unit.
  3. Estimate. A detailed estimate of the loss is prepared for the association’s claim.
  4. Negotiation. The claim is presented to the insurance company, and the public adjuster handles the back-and-forth with its adjuster while keeping the board or manager informed.

Each claim turns on its own facts and policy wording, and no particular result can be promised.

Minnesota rules boards ask about.

Minnesota’s Common Interest Ownership Act says a loss covered by the association’s property policy is adjusted by and with the association, and the insurance proceeds are payable to the association or to an insurance trustee it designates (Minn. Stat. 515B.3-113(e)). Whether that section governs your community is a question for the association’s attorney.

Minnesota law gives an insured the right to cancel a public adjuster contract within 72 hours after it is signed (Minn. Stat. 72B.135, subd. 1).

Documents the board should keep organized.

  • The master policy and its declarations page.
  • Every letter, estimate and payment the insurance company has sent, especially any letter that mentions a deadline. For legal questions, including deadlines to file suit, talk with a licensed attorney.
  • Photos and dates of the damage for each building.
  • Roof age and repair records, and the reserve study if the association has one.
  • The claim number, if a claim has been filed.

You don't need to send these to us. A public adjuster reviews them only after a written contract is signed.

What Minnesota boards and managers ask first.

Who do you represent on an association claim?

We represent policyholders, not insurance companies. On a master-policy claim, the policyholder is normally the association named on the declarations page, and that is who we would work for. Check the named insured on your own declarations page.

Who signs for the association, and does the board need to approve it?

Who can sign contracts for the association is set by your governing documents and the board, not by us. Minnesota law says a public adjuster's employment contract is valid only if signed by an insured and the property owner of the property involved, or an authorized agent or representative (Minn. Stat. 72B.135, subd. 6(b)). Your board may want to confirm who has that authority before anyone signs. If you are unsure who has authority, ask the association's attorney. We are not attorneys and do not give legal advice.

How does the master policy relate to the unit owners' own policies?

That depends on the wording of the master policy and of your declaration and bylaws, which decide who insures which parts of the buildings. This page doesn't say what is covered for your community. For legal questions, talk to a licensed attorney in your state.

What records should the board or manager keep organized?

The master policy with its declarations page, every letter and estimate the insurance company has sent, photos and dates for each building, any roof or repair records you have, and the claim number if a claim is open. You don't need to send these to us. A public adjuster reviews them only after a written contract is signed.

What is appraisal?

If your policy has an appraisal provision, it usually describes a process for settling a disagreement about the amount of a loss. How it works depends on the exact policy wording. For legal questions, including deadlines to file suit, talk with a licensed attorney.

How do I confirm you are licensed in Minnesota?

Resolution Claims Consulting, LLC holds Minnesota public adjusting firm license #40893260, and William J. Addis holds Minnesota individual public adjuster license #40771302. You can check both with the Minnesota Department of Commerce or the NAIC State Based Systems license lookup, and you should check any public adjuster before hiring one.

Do we have to hire a public adjuster?

No. You can negotiate the claim directly with the insurance company, and you can contact the Minnesota Department of Commerce Consumer Services Center with questions about a claim or a public adjuster. Fee terms are set out in a written contract that you review and sign before any work begins.

Can the association cancel a public adjuster contract after signing?

Under Minnesota law, an insured who signs a contract with a public adjuster has the right to cancel it within 72 hours after it is signed, by giving written notice of cancellation to the public adjuster at the address stated in the contract (Minn. Stat. 72B.135, subd. 1).
