For estate planning, intended beneficiaries are entered with home inventory items.
Insurance Documentation and Claims
Attach up to five digital images to each home inventory item (photos or scanned receipts, warranties, etc.), but only one image prints in reports. The drag and drop feature for images stored on your computer works well, but PDFs need to be converted to a supported format, like JPG.
Quicken Home Inventory Manager includes a tool to record insurance policy details for home owners, rental and other insurance policies. An insurance claim tracking tool helps with insurance claim follow-up.
Data Files and Back Up
Quicken Home Inventory Manager supports home inventories for multiple properties, and the back up utility optionally adds the back up date to the file name for multiple back up sets.
Home Inventory Reports
The Inventory Value Summary in Quicken Home Inventory Manager provides an overview of the home inventory while the Inventory Detail Report goes into detail for each item entered.
Summary
The Quicken Home Inventory Manager Community Forums reveals problems people have had with a noticeable absence of responses from QHIM staff. The best advantage of Quicken Home Inventory Manager is for Quicken users, who can import home inventory data into Quicken Deluxe and higher. See my Quicken Home Inventory Manager review for more details.
