Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Why do I need a Home Inventory?

A: There are many advantages to having a thorough home inventory. According to the Insurance Information Institute, “Having an up-to-date inventory will help you get your insurance claim settled faster, verify losses for your income tax return and help you purchase the correct amount of insurance. Like insurance, a home inventory will protect you in a time of need, after a fire, natural disaster or theft. With a Property Proof Plus package you can immediately submit your claim and focus your time and energy on other important matters. And at a time when speed counts, your claim can be expedited quickly and you’ll receive the maximum amount on your claim.

A home inventory can be of great value for Estate Planning as well as for documenting possessions being placed in storage prior to a move.
