37.2 Household Inventory

kev319 — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 13:43:46 +0000

Almost daily in our communities, fire, tornadoes, or other catastrophic events completely destroy homes and their contents. Your homeowners or renters insurance provide coverage for the contents, up to the limit you select with your policy. In the event of total loss, you will be expected to provide a list of all of your personal property that was damaged or destroyed, along with its estimated value. The replacement cost of the home is relatively easy for the insurance company to determine. However, determining the contents and their value presents a more difficult problem.
