You're sitting on a beach and you get a phone call from your neighbor. Your house just burned
down. What would you do before you started trying to get home? Do you have your
insurance agents number? Oh no! you think. All my records were in a box in my
closet. Now they're gone. What will I do?
Well, if you used an All-In-One
Home Inventory and Asset Management System called Computerize Your
Assets, you could rest a little easier. With this system you would have a list
of insurance agents and their phone numbers, a list of all the contents in your
home, and phone numbers for other agencies if needed. Not only that, you could
print off a report of all your insurance policies and
numbers, your assets, their original costs, current valuations in the case of
special items and have computerized images of all your receipts, and pictures of
your assets. Now you're prepared to deal with your disaster.
Computerize Your
Assets (CYA) will have let you print reports which could be stored off site in a
safe deposit box, left with your accountant, or stored at a friends or relatives
house. Or, you might have a current CD of the reports kept somewhere. All you would need
to do is use another computer and view or print the reports as needed. In
addition, you would have regular backups of your whole CYA system - programs,
files, and information, which could be loaded on another system, in the event
your computer was destroyed.
In the advanced version called the Extended
Edition you have even more features and flexibility. It gives you the ability to
have multiple properties, such as a vacation home in the mountains or at the
beach. Just like your main property, you can detail all your assets and keep
everything organized by property. There is also an easy to use Estate Planning
system built in where you can assign your assets to individuals or charities.
Attach these reports to your Will and you will always be prepared for the
unexpected. |
