UPDATE INSURANCE RECORDS


January would be a good time to update your insurance records. Here's a suggested plan.

1. Take pictures of every room. Zoom in on small items, open drawers to show belongings.

2. Photograph valuable items individually. Placing them against a white background will make details stand out. Use good lighting.

3. Use macro mode on your camers for jewelry, watches and other small items.

4. Get a picture of serial numbers on electronics and software.

5. Burn the picture files to multiple CD's. DVDs or Flash drives. Keep one copy in a fire and waterproof safe and the other copy in at a safe off-site location.
6. Hope you never need them!
