FREE CLAIM LIST

Total loss inventory list: everything you lost, room by room

After a fire, a flood or a burglary the insurer asks for a list of everything that was lost. Go through each room in your head: the things most homes have are listed to jog your memory. Tap what you had, then add how many, how old, what it costs new and what proves it. Print the list or download it as an Excel file.

  • Free, no account
  • The usual things of each room are listed, so less gets forgotten
  • The columns claim forms ask for: quantity, age, cost new, where bought, proof
  • Works in your browser; what you type is not sent to us

Your list of what was lost

WHEN YOU CAN'T REMEMBER

Where to look for what you had

  • Photos on your phone and in its cloud backup: birthdays, holidays and selfies show the rooms behind people. Zoom in on shelves and walls.
  • Photos your family and friends took at your home, and the ones you posted. Ask them to look too.
  • The order history of the online shops you use, and receipts in your email: search it for "order", "receipt" and "invoice".
  • Bank and card statements of the last few years: shop names and amounts bring back things you bought.
  • Walk through each room in your head, cupboard by cupboard and drawer by drawer. Include the garage, the attic, the balcony and any storage unit.
  • Warranty registrations, manuals saved as files and delivery emails often name the exact model.

Photos, family and friends, online orders and email receipts are the advice of United Policyholders, a nonprofit that helps people with insurance claims after disasters.

HOW THE INSURER READS IT

Cost new, age and proof

  • Give what each thing costs to buy new today at an ordinary shop, not at a discount. That is its replacement cost.
  • Give each thing's age. Many policies first pay the cost new minus wear and tear (actual cash value), and pay the rest once you replace the thing and send the receipt.
  • Proof can be a photo, a receipt, an online order or a line on a statement. A thing with none still belongs on the list.
  • Ask the insurer before you throw away damaged things: the adjuster may want to see them.
  • Write down every call with the insurer: the date, the name and what was agreed. Keep the receipts for a place to stay and for everything you replace.
  • Take your time. A list of a whole home takes weeks, and you can add to it as you remember more. Read your policy before you accept a settlement.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes. The list, the printout and the Excel file are free. You don't need an account or an email address.

My insurer has its own form.

Most claim forms ask for the same columns. Copy the rows from the Excel file into the insurer's form or spreadsheet, or ask whether they take the printout as an attachment.

I don't know what a thing costs now.

Look up the same or the nearest model at an ordinary shop today and use that price. For clothes, books or dishes, count them and use a typical price per piece.

I keep remembering more.

That is normal. The list stays in this browser: come back, add what comes to mind, and print it again.

Do you see what I type?

No. The page adds it up and makes the printout and the file in your browser, and keeps your list in this browser only. What you type is not sent to us.
