An insurer settles a contents claim based on what you can prove you owned. After a fire or a burglary, proving that you owned certain items usually involves recalling a list of your belongings from memory, weeks after they're gone. Typeform's personal property inventory form captures each room while everything is still in it, with photos and serial numbers attached to every item.

You work through the house one room at a time, logging what's in each with its value and condition. Mark an item as high-value, like a laptop or a watch, and the form asks for the serial number, the receipt, and any appraisal; log everyday contents, and it asks for a description, a photo, and a rough value. The detail you record matches what an adjuster would ask for.

You finish the inventory before you need it, and build an accurate, complete picture of everything you own. If you do file a claim, the adjuster receives a list organized by room, with photos and serial numbers, instead of a page of recollections. The items you'd never have remembered are already on it.

Personal Property Inventory Form FAQs:

A personal property inventory form is an online form for recording everything you own, room by room, with values and photos. It collects each item's description, condition, purchase details, value, serial number where relevant, and images of it. Homeowners, renters, and estate planners use personal property inventory forms to hold proof of ownership before they ever need to produce it.

Without a personal property inventory form, your proof of ownership is whatever you can recall in the days after a loss. The adjuster asks for an itemized list with values, you write down the obvious things, and the hall closet and the garage shelves never make it onto the page. The insurer only pays for what's on the list, not for what you left off. A personal property inventory form builds the list while the items are still in front of you, with a photo and a value for each one.

Capture what a claim has to establish:

  • Item description and which room it's in
  • Purchase date and price
  • Current condition
  • Serial or model number
  • Photos of the item

Yes. You can upload photos of each item with File Upload, available on paid Typeform plans. You can add images or PDFs up to 10MB each, so a receipt or an appraisal goes on record alongside the picture of the item. Every photo arrives attached to the item it belongs to.

Somewhere other than the house it describes. A binder in a desk drawer burns in the same fire it was meant to document, and a laptop holding the only spreadsheet walks out with the burglar. With Typeform’s personal property inventory, your responses stay in your Typeform account instead, so a loss at the house doesn't take the inventory with it. Export a copy whenever you need to hand it to your insurance agent or store it with your other paperwork.
