FAMILY HOME INVENTORY is a tool for capturing your personal property, room by room,
attaching photographs when desireable,
and keeping track of disposition of property when that time comes.
Another important use is to document your property,
everything in your home, for insurance purposes in case of fire, flooding, or other disaster.
The focus is on removeable property like furniture,
not on home improvements, permanent attachments, nor fixtures.
If you would take it with you when you move keep track of it here.
