Know the value of your possessions
It is important to know the specifics of your homeowners insurance before disaster strikes. Take into consideration the value of your home and possessions, how much coverage is on your policy, and the amount that will be paid in the event of a fire.
It's a good idea to take inventory of your personal belongings and document their worth. Doing this at the time you purchase home insurance and additional property coverage can help determine if the preset coverage limits are right for you – or if you need to extend your coverage limits.
For example, if you own luxury items like furs, gold, paintings, and jewelry, the coverage limits on your homeowners insurance may not be enough to fully cover their replacement cost. You will likely need to purchase additional coverage, and itemize these items and their value.
