Could you list everything you own after a major lossâwithout walking through your house first?
For most of us, that would be surprisingly difficult.
That is why a simple home inventory can be useful.
Walk through each room and document major belongings. Photos or video can help. Record model numbers or receipts for higher-value items when practical. Keep a copy somewhere you can access even if your home is damaged.
A home inventory does not determine whether something is covered, and policy terms still apply.
But having organized documentation may make it easier to remember what you owned and discuss a loss with your insurer.
It is one of those tasks that feels unnecessaryâright up until the day you are glad you did it.
