Who it benefits:
-
Home Owner:
- Having an updated inventory of your property satisfies
the burden of proof that insurance companies require prior to settling a
claim. Proper documentation of assets is crucial when they become stolen
or damaged and need to be replaced in a timely manner. Insurance companies
all endorse property inventories and many state that in a claim process
the one with the property inventory documentation will receive 10% to 20%
more when the claim is settled. Do
the math: The average home is valued at $200,000 with content coverage of 50%
or $100,000. That's $10,000 to $20,000 more from the claim settlement! It will also assist police by identifying your property after a theft with
written and photographic evidence of your property.
Churches :
- There are over 1300 Churches damaged by fire each year according to statistics from the National Fire Incident Reporting System(NFIRS).
- Your insured content value is probably around 10-20% of your insured building value. That means a church insured for $1,000,000 has an insured content value of $100,000-$200,000. So ask yourself and your trustees, if you had a fire or theft, who could list all of the contents? This illustrates the value of a professional digital inventory. If needed, the return on the investment and the piece of mind could be worth $20,000 - $40,000 more at settlement time. In addition, it is recorded in one place not thirty different members memories, priceless.
- Keeping track of your assets aids in keeping your property taxes low as well as your insurance premiums. Also the inventory aids in a rapid and smooth claim settlement in the case of a fire, theft or other catastophe.
