Unless a home inventory is required by your home insurance, your home inventory can be as limited or comprehensive as you like. Often, home inventories include date of purchase, cost, and serial or model numbers. You can keep your home inventory on a spreadsheet, in an app, or you can keep a written list.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What Are the Benefits of a Home Inventory?<\/h2>\n<p>There are many benefits of having a home inventory. For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Simplify recovery after a disaster:<\/strong>&nbsp;If you lost everything you own in a covered disaster, you would need to remember and re-purchase what you own. Having a list makes this easier.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Aid with the claims process:<\/strong>&nbsp;Your insurance company may request details about the items you own. A home inventory list is something you can turn over to your insurance company.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Need Home Insurance Help?
