No, the two are different. Umbrella insurance is extra insurance that provides protection beyond existing limits and coverages of other policies. Umbrella insurance can provide coverage for injuries, property damage, certain lawsuits, and personal liability situations. Premiums are paid by the holder of the insurance policy and there is no payout upon the death of the account holder.
