Likewise here. State farm supplies my auto, home, and umbrella coverage.

But shopping for an insurance carrier a while back, I noticed some big
names didn't offer umbrella coverage, so I eliminated them.

I think you should have enough insurance to cover likely (or even possible,
though unlikely) claims made against you, not just to cover your assets.

example: assets = $1M
potential claim = $5 M

if you have only $1M in insurance, they get the insurance and your assets.

Mine is from my auto insurer, State Farm. Most large insurers will
offer this. Check with your agent.

not necessarily. Just ask your insurance agent.

I think it's usually bundled with some other kind of insurance
either auto or homeowners or renters.
See, e.g., http://www.amica.com/auto/coverageExcessPELP.html.

All I know is that i should get enough coverage to cover my
assets....but when I went to my
auto-insurers web site to see if they offer it, it's not mentioned
anywhere on the website.....that's kind of
strange, given that AIG (my insurer) is supposed to be the largest ins.
co. in the world (??) Typing "umbrella insurance" into google (with
all kinds of variations,, like "where to buy....." comes up with no
nothing of use. I don't own a house, but i have enough assets to
make the ins. worthwhile i think.
