Why should I have a home inventory?

After an event that has damaged or destroyed your home, you will need to provide your insurance carrier with a list of the items that you lost in the event. After something bad happens, you will find that you are not thinking as clearly as usual. Trying to picture what you had and actually writing it down may be beyond your capacity at that moment. Taking the time to make a home inventory before something bad happens can save you a lot of stress.  You can make a digital inventory or a written one supplemented with photos. You want to be able to verify what you had so attaching any receipts especially for larger ticket items is always a good idea. Then you should place the inventory in a safe place so it can be easily accessed if the need arises.
