Before Disaster Strikes

Hurricane season is just around the corner. Tollie Windham of Beaumont wants to help get your home prepared in the case of an emergency whether you are victimized by fire or caught in the storm.

Homeowners that have been through fire know the importance of taking a home inventory to report losses to their insurance agency. What else is a home inventory good for?

An inventory can also be used to supplement legal documentation for estate planning. A detailed inventory can help verify losses for income tax deductions. This also helps keep track of lost or damaged items during a move.

An inventory is especially important for insurance purposes. When you make an insurance claim for damaged, lost or stolen property, your insurance policy will require you to show the quantity, description, and possibly the amount of loss associated with each item. If you omit some items or fail to include an adequate description of others, you may receive less than full compensation for your losses. Relying solely on your memory can be an expensive mistake. When a property loss is suffered, you want to get a fair and quick settlement to get back on your feet.

To get more information on hiring a home inventory professional, call Tollie Windam at 409.540.8705 or email tolliewindham@yahoo.com.
