Creating a home inventory is as straightforward as it sounds. It is a detailed record of everything in your home, from top to bottom. If you bought it, it should be on the list! There are a few things you must include alongside your items to ensure a complete inventory. These include:
- Item description
- Serial number
- Purchase date
- Estimated Value
