Be prepared if the unthinkable happens. A complete inventory for insurance claims or police will be needed if you suffer loss from disaster or theft. The time to think about loss is before it happens. When in the midst of a crisis remembering all the details of what you own can be overwhelming. Most people find that conducting an inventory can be a daunting task. The reality is that once an initial inventory is completed, it is quite easy to manage and update the information. In just a couple of hours our inventory team will photograph your items, scan any documents you wish and record important details about your property. Using your email address, the completed inventory will be stored in a free online inventory program which you then manage. No records are kept by our service (unless you have requested this) and your account is always available to you. Printable reports can be presented to your insurance company or to police in case of theft. Use an inventory to plan estate settlement. Add appraisals of your valuables or antiques. Photograph your pets and their information too. Documents of all kinds can be scanned during our inventory visit and you can add additional photos or scans at any time. You may discover that your current insurance policy is insufficient to cover any incurred losses. Does your policy cover actual or replacement value of your possessions? Without proper documentation, will you even recover those losses? Is your homeowner's or rental insurance really enough? Before scheduling an inventory it is recommended that you call your agent and ask what items should be included. Many people have not considered the loss of everyday items. Clothing, dishes, linens. Those who have rental properties can also benefit from an inventory. Document move-in-ready contents and conditions to avoid or solve any possible dispute. Track repairs, replacements and renovations. Don't forget about your business assets. Have you invested in equipment and tools for your trade? Job trailers are frequently targeted by thieves and a loss could cripple your business. Record models, serial numbers and photos of your business assets. Security cameras in homes and businesses may help catch a thief but how will you prove what was lost. If a fire or storm strikes and you suffer major loss, are you prepared to list every item? Get some peace of mind now. Use any number of inventory programs and be prepared in advance. This is certainly a project which anyone can do and it is recommended that you have a completed inventory. If you would like help with this daunting task just call or email.
