Updating Your Home Inventory
The holidays are a time for giving and receiving, but you want to make sure that all of those new items you got for the holidays are protected. Here are some tips for updating your home inventory so that it is accurate and so that your items are insured in case of a disaster.
- Get your valuables appraised sooner rather than later so that your inventory accurately shows you the amount of insurance you need.
- Update your digital inventory by taking photos of your new belongings and labeling them with important details.
- Update your written inventory by including general descriptions and specifics of your new items like cost, brand, and model.
- Store your inventory in a safe place. Consider storing a copy away from your home in a safe deposit box or with a family member you trust. If you have digital files, back them up. Keeping copies of both digital and written inventories in different places may also be a good idea.
