...recent memory. As far as content goes, Lil’ Wayne’s newest album doesn’t depart far from his traditional material. With sugary club hits like “Lollipop” and “Got Money” (featuring the perpetually auto-tuned T-Pain), Lil’ Wayne has covered his bases and ensured complete dominance of the pop charts.

Those funds again vary by state but typically cap at $300,000, according to The National Conference of Insurance Guaranty Funds. It tends to be easier, though, to get other insurance carriers to take over these policies, since the coverages are shorter-term. If the property and casualty funds do kick in, they cover existing claims and typically ones made 30 days from the time of liquidation - to give you time to get a new policy...
