Most carriers require minimum underlying limits before attaching an umbrella. Typically auto liability of at least $250,000/$500,000 or $300,000 combined single limit, and homeowners liability of at least $300,000. The umbrella sits above these limits and does not pay until the underlying policy is exhausted. Some carriers require all vehicles and properties to be on policies with the same or an affiliated carrier before they will attach the umbrella.
