Keeping track of the items in your home can be a tedious process, but it is a great way to keep track of what you have and it can be a lifesaver if you're ever in a situation where you need to replace your personal property after a loss.
In the event of a claim, having a current and detailed inventory of your belongings can make the claims process much easier and faster. Don’t wait until you are faced with a catastrophe to try to look at your belongings.

Here are some basic tips to ease this process:
