Document Your Possessions (DYP) Inventory Report

The cost of a Document Your Possessions inventory report starts at $350.00, but the final price depends on the scope and customization of your project. The service includes:

• Tailored inventory formatting: Custom field titles, descriptors, and printing formats to suit your needs.
• Personalized consultation: A free, no-obligation quote via phone 903 595- 2176 to better understand your goals.
• Flexible service options: Ideal for estate planning, insurance documentation, or pre-move appraisals.

Why Annual Updates Make Sense

• Depreciation and appreciation: Items like electronics, vehicles, and collectibles change in value over time. Older items such as antique furniture and decorative arts may appreciate.
• Annual updates help maintain accurate valuations for insurance and estate planning.
• New acquisitions: Furniture, art, jewelry, and other personal property are often added throughout the year.
• Disposals and donations: Items may be sold, gifted, or discarded, and should be removed from the record.
• Insurance and legal accuracy: Keeping your inventory current ensures proper coverage and simplifies probate or litigation if needed.

Accurate documentation of condition — capturing wear, restoration status, and provenance before transit

• Verification of quantity and completeness — ensuring all items are accounted for and properly inventoried
• Protection in case of damage or loss — supporting insurance claims or legal recourse if needed

This step not only safeguards your belongings but also provides peace of mind during a stressful transition.

When disaster strikes—whether fire, flood, theft, or storm—your possessions become more than objects. They become evidence. The DYP Inventory Report is a professionally prepared record of your tangible personal property, designed to establish values at the time of loss, not at the time of documentation.

Created and performed by Gene Ruelle, ASA, an Accredited Senior Appraiser with the American Society of Appraisers, the DYP system reflects over 25 years of certified report generation experience. Every report is tailored to your specifications, including:

• Room-by-room organization
• Wood type, period, and style
• Special descriptors and provenance

Whether you’re insuring a single residence or multiple properties, the DYP report offers:

• Verified documentation for insurance claims and coverage reviews
• Multi-location reporting in a single, unified format
• Custom categorization to reflect the true character of your belongings

Safeguarding the Story of Your Life

As we journey through life, we collect more than just possessions—we gather memories, milestones, and mementos that tell the story of who we are. Sometimes it’s pocket change in a jar for a rainy day, or coupons trailing from a CVS receipt three miles long. Other times, it’s items that carry deeper meaning: a coin collection from childhood, antique furniture passed down through generations, or a painting that once hung in your grandmother’s parlor.

These tangible belongings form a portrait of your life. And when it comes time to plan your estate, safeguarding that portrait becomes an act of love.

Most people focus solely on their Last Will and Testament. But if you want to distribute cherished belongings to specific people—without the hassle of constantly updating your Will—a personal property memorandum, such as a DYP inventory report, is the perfect solution.

Let’s say you want your son to inherit your coin collection, or your friend to receive the 1928 Hamilton B pocket watch he’s always admired. Including these details directly in your Will can make it dense and difficult to navigate. Instead, the DYP inventory report serves as a living document—easy to update, easy to understand, and legally recognized when referenced in your Will.

This report covers all tangible personal property in your estate: furniture, paintings, clothing, electronics, firearms, and collections of every kind. It clearly documents who should receive each item, along with their contact information, eliminating confusion for your executor or personal representative.

Importantly, it spares your loved ones the emotional burden of dividing up your belongings during a time of grief. When memories differ and opinions clash, a clear, compassionate plan can make all the difference.

If your wishes change, updating your DYP inventory report is simple. Just contact gene@ruelle.com to create a new version—no need to revise your Will. Your report is securely stored and available online 24/7. Be sure to leave login credentials for your personal representative so they can access it when needed.

Note: Your DYP personal property memorandum will only take effect if your valid Will refers to it. Be sure your attorney includes this reference during your estate planning process.
