There are two main ways you can document your list. You can do it by hand in a notebook. This has the benefit of being accessible at any time when the notebook is in hand and can be kept in a safe place. The other option is to use an electronic spreadsheet to keep records, which is convenient and can be easily changed. An electronic list can also be printed, downloaded into the Cloud, or stored on a thumb drive.  You can create tables in Microsoft Word or use Microsoft Excel to create your electronic list. You can make headings for each category and subcategory.You can also easily add things to your list in either program by adding rows and columns to the tables. Either option is legitimate. It depends on your personal preference for record keeping. The electronic version is more easily shared, changed, and added to, so many people choose this option. There are two main types of assets. The first is physical assets. These are the tangible properties you own such as your home, furnishings, automobiles, artwork, clothes, and other items that you can see and feel. The evidence of your ownership of physical assets is documented in legal documents including deeds and titles.  Some items may be difficult to classify since they have elements of both categories. For example, fine jewelry may be family heirlooms passed down from generation to generation. It is still worn on special occasions and listed in the physical category. At the same time, this same jewelry may be valuable enough that it requires insurance and special safe-keeping, which are elements typically required for financial assets. The second type of assets are financial assets. These are your intangible properties that represent ownership of bank accounts, securities, insurance policies, stocks and bonds, and other evidence of value for those assets that affect your income or wealth.  Financial assets also include home, car, and personal loans, retirement and investment accounts, and credit cards. Don’t worry about making a strict distinction between the two categories. Just put the items in the categories that you feel best represent them. It is more important that all items are listed than where they appear on your list. On your inventory list, you should document a good amount of your personal information. This will help attach you to your assets through the documentation. You should include your name, passport number, income tax number, location of your will, and signature. You can also include the names of the executors of your will, safety deposit box location and number, email accounts, and online passwords for bills, accounts, and profiles. Once you start your personal inventory, you need to include as much information as possible about each physical asset. This includes a detailed description of each item. You should create categories under physical assets in your list in order to keep your assets straight. You can have a category for automobiles, jewelry, entertainment equipment, and valuable collections. You should also include the fair market value of each item you list.  For example, a description of a television should include the name and size of the equipment, necessary accessories for operation such as a remote, its general condition, and how much it costs. You should value your collections, such as coins, stamps, or collectibles, as a unit instead of item by item.  Include photographs with dates they were taken to avoid later misunderstandings or confusion about the items you own. If appraisals of value have been completed in the past, note the appraiser’s name, contact information, and relevant details of the appraisal. In addition to the list, you need to give evidence of intangible assets such as deeds, titles, certificates, insurance policies, and financial accounts. These should be identified with account numbers and owner details such as name, address, and Social Security numbers. You should also include the names of any persons that have legal authority to manage, sell, or otherwise dispose of each financial asset. You should also include the names of the owners, the insured, and beneficiaries of any insurance policies. For some items, especially the more costly items, you may need to include acquisition information. If you remember where you got certain items, you should list the elements of acquisition including the name, address, and phone number of the seller as well as the price.  You should describe how you came to possess the item, such as a purchase, a gift, an inheritance, or a foreclosure. For extremely high cost items, keep purchase receipts and warranty information if possible. The location of items or important documents should also be listed in your personal asset inventory. For each of your physical assets, you should note the place that physical items are kept or stored along with special security required. For your financial accounts, you should identify them with the name, address, and phone number of the custodian, broker, or bank where the account is located.  Write down the name of the contact person responsible for accessing each of your accounts, the date the account was opened, and its current status. The location of stock certificates, deeds, mortgages, certificate of deposits, and other evidence of an intangible asset should be clearly noted. You should also list any person authorized to access the account and details required to have entry such as passwords, combinations of safes, or safety deposit keys. There may be some items in your inventory that need special attention or require certain actions to be maintained. Just like with other items, expensive jewelry, art, collectibles, and precious metals should be described fully in addition to estimates of current values. In addition to these descriptions, any intent to gift such items including names of beneficiaries, addresses, and conditions of transfer should be listed on your asset inventory. Once you have all of your physical and financial assets listed, listed all personal information, and attached copies of relevant documentation, you need to finish up your list. This includes adding any additional items that did not specifically fit into either of the categories but that you want listed. After you finish the last of the list, you should date your inventory. This will help avoid confusion if your list is amended at a later time. A list without a date can be more confusing than not having the list.
