In case of loss, would you be able to remember all the possessions you’ve accumulated over the years? Having an up-to-date home inventory will help you get your insurance claim settled faster and verify losses for your income tax return.
Rocky and Lisa’s home was completely destroyed a few days after Christmas. A flue from their wood-burning stove developed a crack that allowed hot gases to ignite a wood beam in the ceiling. Luckily, they had gotten a video camera for a Christmas present and decided to tape their house and possessions after reading a magazine article about fire safety.
The camera was one of the few items they saved, and the video was still in it, along with some precious family footage as well. The tape saved them a lot of problems and thousands of dollars. There’s no way they could have remembered or proved everything they lost in the fire without it.
