you had no insurance for 13 years? You should qualify for a state plan that will guarantee you coverage - contact a local insurance agent - and expect for the premium to be high
A homeowners association cannot be a mandatory association without the consent of 100% of the property owners in the development attempting to establish an association. In addition to the consent of the property owners, the association must follow certain procedures and file the proper documents in order to subject the property to the association's rule.
No, your homeowners insurance does not cover tenants nor any of their property or liabilities. actually, the presence of tenants without the presence of an owner can void all coverage and nullify the homeowners insurance policy. If the occupancy status of your home changes, contact your agent. Leased homes require landlords insurance. Vacant homes require a vacant property policy.
Without a state listing, this will be a tough question to answer. You can ask anyone on the board of this association, or any property owner, who should have or be able to get that information for you.

No, Your neighbor has a home insurance policy to cover his owned property. Homeowners insurance is specific to the named insured and the insured's scheduled property. Homeowners Insurance does not cover automobiles or motorcycles at all and does not cover property belonging to third parties except in very narrow circumstances. Personal Property coverage excludes motorized vehicles except lawnmowers, golf carts, off-road ATVs, vehicles for the handicapped. If it is a vehicle intended to be licensed for road use, it is excluded under residential building policies.

A "deed restriction between previous owners" (i.e., specifically by name with clear intent that the restriction is only personal) should not effect you in the slightest. However, many deed restrictions "run with the land," that is, they restrict any future owner and cannot be removed without obtaining a release from every possible party who could benefit from keeping the restriction, or by getting a new deed from the previous owner that does not contain the restrictions.
"color of title" means the squatter has a document that appears to convey ownership of the property being taken, such a defective deed. "without color of title" is any other taking by adverse possession of property, based primarily upon continued trespass for longer than the required statute of limitations, and some state require "cultivation, improvement, or enclosure" of the property, as a demonstration of the extent to which the property has been "occupied".
Yes, a homeowners association lien can impede a mortgage loan. If a homeowner has outstanding unpaid dues or violations, the homeowners association may place a lien on the property. This lien takes priority over a mortgage, making it difficult for the homeowner to refinance or sell the property without addressing the lien first.
it depends on the company
Homeowners policies specifically exclude damage to motorized vehicles with the exception of lawn mowers that are exclusively use for maintenance of the property. Also, golf carts are usually covered. Automobiles can only be covered by an auto policy that has physical damage coverage included.
Depends if the fence line IS the property division line, in which case both homeowners have to agree about the trimming. If whatever needs trimming is solely on your property you are allowed to do whatever it is you need to do, providing any homeowner association (if they exist) has rules for this.
