Insuranceopedia Explains Household Inventory

The traditional way to compile a household inventory is through a written document or a list. However, technology now allows policyholders to make video inventories. The items included in the list must be of value.

A home inventory is very important when reporting a loss to an insurer. It will serve as proof that the lost item was in the insured's possession. For this reason, the household list should be stored in a safe place.
