5.2.2010:  Lead Poisoning

Why you need home-inventory software

The contents of your home may represent a substantial portion of your net worth.  What financial consequences would your family suffer if you were the victim of a hurricane, earthquake, tornado, flood, fire, or theft?

No home inventory can protect you from the devastating emotional consequences of a catastrophe, but most insurance agents will tell you that an inventory can streamline your financial recovery.

A home inventory has many other uses, too:

• Insurance and estate planning,
• Documentation of non-cash donations,
• Recording the history of family heirlooms,
• Recording the maintenance of major appliances,
• Recording serial numbers for police reports or warranty claims.

Sadly, most Americans do not have a home inventory. Why? Because writing down the name and purchase price of every item in your home is difficult, time-consuming, and, frankly, boring.
