It is a good idea to make an inventory of all your real and personal property with as much information as you can, including a detailed description, make, model numbers, serial numbers, year purchased, and amount paid. Take photos of everything you can. You could even record a walk-through of your property, narrating as you go. Update your inventory, photos, and/or recording annually, or when you make a large or significant purchase or improvements to your home. Keep a copy off-site in a safe place, such as in a safe deposit box.
