Independent documentation
A record made by someone other than you — before anyone needed it.
After a loss, many people rely on memory alone. Documentation prepared by an independent third party provides a separate, contemporaneous reference point for what was present.
Dated
Every visit, photograph and record carries the date it was created.
Systematic
The same room-by-room method is followed on every property, reducing gaps.
Organized
Records are structured by room, category and item for fast reference.
Firsthand
Based on direct observation of the property as it existed at the time.
Independent documentation is intended to supplement — not replace — your own records. It does not automatically carry greater legal weight and is not guaranteed to be accepted or admitted in any proceeding. Its value is in being thorough, consistent and created before a loss.
