Estate inventory guide

How to inventory an estate without losing the story.

Begin with rooms and photographs. Assign stable asset records, then add identity, ownership, documents, location, value evidence, and next steps over time.

  1. Create the matter and record the responsible people.
  2. Walk every room, storage area, vehicle, safe, and off-site location.
  3. Photograph before moving property whenever practical.
  4. Flag valuables, regulated items, and private documents for appropriate handling.
  5. Distinguish estimated value from a qualified professional appraisal.
  6. Record every material disposition.
Executor checklist

What a defensible asset record includes.

  • Clear photographs and identifying details
  • Physical location and custody
  • Ownership and provenance notes
  • Receipts, certificates, and appraisals
  • Value source, date, and confidence
  • Beneficiary or disposition status
  • Chronological material-change history

This checklist is organizational guidance, not legal or fiduciary advice.

Valuation language

Estate inventory versus professional appraisal.

An automated or market estimate can help prioritize work, but it is not automatically a certified appraisal. HaloVault records the kind and source of value so a user-entered figure, supporting market evidence, replacement estimate, and professional appraisal do not become interchangeable.
