Inventory Your Personal Property

If your home and personal property is destroyed by a fire, flood, hurricane or other disaster, it may be more difficult than you realize to remember all the items you had in your home before the event. And without an itemized list of the items you lost, you cannot get the recovery you deserve from the insurance company.
One way to avoid this is to create a personal property inventory. You can hire someone to do this for you, but it isn’t difficult to do it yourself.
  1. Go room by room. Don’t just sit and try to think about each of the items in your rooms. Instead, go into one room and focus on that space completely while you are in it. Do not start another room until you finish the one that you are in.
  2. List every item in the room. As you look around the room, write a comprehensive list of every item in the room as you look at it. This is really the only way to ensure that you make note of every possession you own.
