The need for inventorying and cataloging of the tangible items in your possession, regardless of their location, is not defined by your level of wealth or the number of items acquired.  In fact the need for an inventory of one’s possessions isn’t even determined by the overall value of the items in ownership.

What determines the need for an inventorying and cataloging of an owner’s possessions is based on any one or more of the following:

            1 – If your possessions are at risk of damage by natural disaster or accidents, or at risk of loss by theft or by a catastrophic event, you need a thorough inventory.

            2 – If your possessions are located in one or more places and/or are moved on occasion or often, you need a thorough inventory

            3 – If you are making short or long terms plans that determine the ownership or transference of ownership, or location of your possessions, you need a thorough inventory.
