Taking the time to list all of the contents in your home can seem like a very daunting process. But the Insurance Information Institute has streamlined the process by allowing consumers to download a FREE copy of the “Know Your Stuff” software by visitingwww.knowyourstuff.org.
The software is very user friendly, only takes a few minutes to download, and all the information entered will be saved on your local hard drive. You can even add images of big-ticket items if you want.
Once you have completed your home inventory, be sure to have your insurance agent review it to make sure your current policy has sufficient coverage. It is also important to save a copy of your home inventory on a CD and store the CD in a fireproof safe, a safety deposit box, or at a friend’s or family member’s house.
