We all hope to never need to make an insurance claim for a catastrophic loss, but life is unpredictable. Are you prepared to quickly reconstruct a detailed inventory of your home if you had to? This month's tip is simple, proactive, and will save you a lot of stress in case of the unexpected.
Take a few minutes to create a photo or video inventory of your home. Start with one room at a time, recording everything — don’t forget those easy-to-overlook spots like closets, drawers, cabinets, and your garage. Be thorough, and if possible, zoom in on high-value items like electronics, furniture, or any collectibles.
Once you've captured everything, be sure to store your inventory securely. An online drive like OneDrive or Dropbox is great for easy access. Or, for extra peace of mind, upload it to your Bluestem Portal Vault, where all your important documents are just a click away.
A little effort now can make a big difference later!
