Do you have a record of your personal belongings in your home? Recently, when updating our homeowners policy, I realized that I do not have official documentation of all the contents of my home. If an unfortunate tragedy or burglary were to occur, I wouldn't have proof of items and content in my home.
A few years ago, our community was hit with a tornado that destroyed dozens of homes. Thankfully, no one was injured. Due to that tragedy, I decided to take a video, with my phone, of our home. As I went through the interior and exterior, I made sure to note big ticket items, such as electronics, appliances, jewelry, etc. in the video. I believe, depending on your insurance carrier's policy, it is a helpful resource for both you and the insurance company to verify home contents and upgrades.
What should you do with the video of your home contents? I recommend you keep a copy on your phone as well as backup a copy to another secure password protected source, such as Dropbox or Google Drive, so you can easily access in the future, if needed.
I hope you never need to access the video as proof of home contents, however, it is always good to be prepared!
For many older adults, finding time to experience nature can be one of the greatest pleasures in retirement.
