  • Neither family use of property nor the family relationship alone gives automatic rise to an insurable property interest. Sayah v. Metropolitan Prop. & Cas. Ins. Co., 273 Neb. 744, 733 N.W.2d 192 (2007).

  • To have an insurable interest, the claimant must have some legally enforceable right that would be recognized and enforced in the property at issue. Sayah v. Metropolitan Prop. & Cas. Ins. Co., 273 Neb. 744, 733 N.W.2d 192 (2007).
