Blood is thicker than water.
Insurer's know people will lie for family.
I would guess you are not charging the kids rent, but you would charge a stranger rent to live there.
So charge them a fee to pay for the increased cost of the insurance.
If you don't want to charge the kids a fee, it proves blood is thicker than water, and they are not treated like strangers.
You're right about all but the lying part. I can't imagine a scenario where I would lie for them, but perhaps I haven't imagined hard enough.
I could charge them a fee for their increase in my umbrella policy, but I won't for the same reasons I don't charge them rent. I don't need the money, and I'd rather see them use their income to further their house buying and business building and preparation to become a music teacher. And I don't want to nickel-and-dime my kids: "OK, Fred, you drove 143 miles last month so your prorated portion of the umbrella policy is $14.27. Please venmo me by Thursday." Adulting well is taking up most if not all of their bandwidth at the moment and getting a bill from Dad the retired guy doesn't seem right.
