Create a Home Inventory
- The purpose of a home inventory is to document what you own to help the insurance company evaluate your loss.
-
Go room to room in your home, and write down the brand name/description, estimated value and date of purchase of items in your home. It is also helpful to compile receipts, appraisal documents and serial numbers.
- Videotape or photograph your belongings. Remember to show the insides of closets, your garage and any storage spaces.
-
Store your home inventory and related documents in a safe, easily accessible place online, on your computer or in a fire-proof box or safe deposit box. Consider sharing a copy with friends or relatives.
