Why should you make a home inventory and how can it help you?  If you have ever filed a claim with your insurer you know that they are going to want to know what was lost by the damage your home sustained. Most homeowners own a lot more personal property than they realize. Try to think of all the clothing that you own, that might be a little overwhelming. 

A home inventory is a record of what you have in every individual room of your home. It can be a written record, a video record, or a digital record. It should be accompanied by as many additional records as possible. Things like receipts, invoices, and appraisals can make it much easier to prove what needs to be replaced.
