As 2010 comes to a close, it's a good time to make sure all of your records, such as a home inventory, are up to date. It’s important for home owners, and even renters, to keep a home inventory — especially these days, with the popularity of flat-screen televisions, iPhones, video games and other expensive electronics.
But the process can be time-consuming and difficult. The Insurance Information Institute’s Know Your Stuff tool can make doing a home inventory a breeze.
Know Your Stuff helps you enter items by room and upload photos or scanned receipts. Once the information is in the system, items can be sorted by price, date of purchase or type (silverware, major appliances, etc.). You can even customize your own categories.
Once completed or updated, the Know Your Stuff report also can be printed, saved on a computer, e-mailed or burned on a CD.
The site has an informative video about the Know Your Stuff tool, giving you a quick look at the process and the importance of doing a home inventory!
