1. Claim and proof of ownership

When memory is no longer enough to prove the value of your objects

After a robbery, fire or water damage, the shock is initially emotional. Then comes the relentless administrative time. The insurer asks simple, almost cold questions: What did you own? What was the value of these objects? Can you provide proof of that?

Without an inventory of valuables, the answer becomes a real quest. You search your memories, cardboard boxes, hard drives, old emails. We find a blurry photo, an incomplete bill, an outdated estimate. Each oversight weakens the case. Every uncertainty delays compensation and complicates the relationship with the insurer.

In these situations, a clear, structured, and documented inventory becomes a central asset and insurance management tool. It makes it possible to prove ownership, to justify the value of the goods and to speed up the procedures. It does not remove the shock of the disaster, but it does avoid a double penalty: emotional and administrative.
