Which type of contracts insure the person who owns the property rather than the property itself?

Commercial Contracts
Joint Contracts
Personal Contracts
Business Contracts

The correct answer is: Personal Contracts

Personal contracts are designed to insure the individual who owns the property rather than focusing on the property itself. In the context of insurance, these contracts are typically associated with personal lines of insurance, such as homeowners policies or renter’s insurance, that provide coverage based on the policyholder's risk and personal circumstances. The intent behind personal contracts is to protect the financial interests and assets of individuals as they navigate personal risks, such as theft or damage to their residence. This type of insurance coverage reflects the owner’s needs and lifestyle, ensuring that they are financially supported in the event of a loss. The other types of contracts mentioned, such as commercial, joint, and business contracts, primarily focus on the insurance needs of businesses and shared responsibilities rather than specifically insuring individuals. Therefore, personal contracts uniquely emphasize individual ownership and risk management related to personal property.
