WHAT
IS A HOME INVENTORY?
A Home Inventory is a detailed list of the personal
property or collections located in your home. Your should also
include property that you have stored elsewhere, perhaps in a
storage container, storage area or a garage on the premises.
It should include your furniture, jewelry, artwork,
antiques, appliances, kitchen contents, clothes, carpets, drapes,
rugs, lamps, office equipment, electronics, musical instruments,
clocks, mirrors, linens, tools, sports equipment, lawn equipment,
and any other items of value.
Having an inventory of all items in and around
your home is an important part of maintaining control over your
home ownership. First of all, for estate and financial planning
purposes, it gives you a complete picture of your personal property,
the value of which can be totaled and is a component of your current
net worth.
Secondly, a comprehensive home inventory is important
should you ever have an insurance loss. Insurance companies require
information about the circumstances of your claim and detailed
documentation of your home's contents as evidence to justify the
amount you are claiming. An up-to-date home inventory complete
with video and photofraphs will save a great deal of aggravation
should you need to report a loss to your insurance company.
An inventory of your possesions not only helps
you determine how much homeowners insurance you should carry,
but it can also help you get your things replaced ( or returned)
if they should be stolen. Detailed records of antiques, jewelry,
silver, sporting goods, major appliances, and collector's item
are very important as these items are difficult to value once
they're lost.
