Prepare for what the future may bring
Your home and neighborhood may evolve over time. Let's help make sure your homeowners insurance evolves too. Keep us informed about any changes that may affect your coverage, such as:
- Moving to a new residence or building a new home
- Changes in occupancy or ownership of your current home
- Remodeling or making improvements to your current home
- Adding a fire or security system
- Purchasing items – including computers, jewelry and furs – that might exceed your basic coverage
- Changes in inflation or building costs in your area, which may affect the cost to rebuild your home
Keep a record of your personal belongings. A completed home inventory will give you:
- A permanent record of the contents of your home and their estimated value
- A list of product brands and model and serial identification numbers
- A good estimate of personal property insurance coverage you need
Consider investing time and effort into completing your home inventory. You will be glad you did.
