Post Nuptial Personal Property Documentation Why Document? During a divorce, all of the property and assets you and your spouse brought into the marriage and accumulated during the marriage will be fought over. Claims of "that's mine!" or "your mother gave that to me at Christmas!" will be common. Rest assured, however, a judge will make the unpopular final decision on who gets what, often without much evidence to rely on. It is in your best interest to document and keep track of your assets, both personal and marital. Moving and Storage Whenever a person undertakes a long distance moving with the help of moving companies, the law requires an inventory list to be prepared. This inventory should include all the items that have to be loaded on the truck. The mover makes a note of the condition of all items to be moved at originating destination. However, the movers are not responsible for the boxes that are packed by the customers themselves as they cannot verify the contents of the boxes. In any case, each box is numbered as part of the shipment and the condition of all the boxes is noted. Moving is a big undertaking, whether you hire professional movers or do it yourself. The larger the household to be moved, the greater the chance for confusion and for items to get lost. A home inventory is a requirement if you move long-distance using a moving service, but it is a good idea no matter how big the move or how far. • Identify, value (customer assigned value) and document the condition of property before moving and storage. • List based on a number system, listing each item as it is packed and loaded.
