You've spent a lifetime

building your assets...

You have insurance, but where do you begin when

it's time to present the nature and extent of your loss?

Haven't recorded yet?

Don't wait until after a loss...

our recording PROCESS proves ownership, property condition, and current value.

Losing your possessions and not being able to prove ownership, condition, and value to your insurance company is the essence behind maintaining current video documentation of your real and personal property. Its byproduct delivers a specialized custom video-recording revealing a permanent legacy for your family and heirs to preserve your lifestyle, heirlooms, and valuables and the stories behind them.
Property and Casualty insurance carriers, financial/risk managers, and risk attorneys highly recommend current video documentation.
The aftermath of a hurricane, fire, interior water pipe breach, or burglary is tragic enough without the anxiety of uncertain recovery from your insurance company. Have you considered how much time, effort, and expense it would take, if even possible, to recall and record in detail all the valuable contents and amenities in your home or business?
It's human nature to experience a heightened level of stress and be ill-focused following a catastrophic loss. A claims adjuster assisting homeowners following Hurricane Katrina (Cat-5+) in 2006 exclaimed; "Post Disaster loss recall of personal property averages less than 60%". Strikingly, when testing recall of homeowners who did not experience any losses, results revealed they forgot as much as 40%.

"Many of our clients work with Bruce of Video Property Archives to document their home and belongings. This record will certainly be useful in expediting claims settlement after a loss."

VIDEO PROPERTY ARCHIVES™ DVD’s enable instant recall to document the proof of ownership, condition, and current value of all your recorded personal property at the touch of your mouse or remotely from your DVD player. It's similar in scope to a computer's file back-up process which guards against permanent data loss.

YOU MUST BE ABLE TO PROVE YOUR LOSSES TO YOUR INSURER.

Most Floridians have been placed on tropical storm, flood, or hurricane alert, or have personally experienced one or more of these weather events every year.
Many fully-insured homeowners in Florida have thought about documenting the contents in their home either on paper, by photography or video, usually at the start of each hurricane season. "Most homeowners neglect to prepare proper documentation. They procrastinate, doubting that their possessions will ever be destroyed*" *Ref: Superior Court Justice Blenus Wright
Lest we forget Hurricanes such as; Andrew (1992 - Cat. 5+), Charley (2004 - Cat. 4), Wilma (2005 - Cat. 4), and Katrina (2006 - Cat 5+) just to mention a few. Far too many insureds devastated by the affects of those hurricanes believed the very same way and did not recover as successfully and completely as possible.
FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency), State & Local Governments, Insurance Carriers, Law offices and News Medias strongly advise all homeowners to: "Document your household contents for insurance purposes before a storm strikes."

"I recommend our clients video-document all of their personal belongings. Video Property Archives offers a service that all homeowners should utilize to help execute proper and timely claims."

Message from the Founder:
Reviewing your new audio/video DVD will illustrate whether or not you are adequately insured for loss. Moreover, it clearly displays any important assets that should be considered as an addition to the 'scheduled' portion of your contract. For instance, do you know what your general household content dollar limits and sub-limits are for jewelry, collectables, or fine art? An annual evaluation of your content coverage with your insurer is strongly recommended.
Should you suffer a loss, the more accurate and compliant your claim records are, the quicker and cleaner your recovery will be.

Recalling your personal property for your insurer would be a daunting task without a video reference. It's a very small investment when you consider the peace of mind you will feel knowing that you have a complete and current record of your possessions. VPA offers an annual update program as part of our ongoing service to keep your asset records as current as possible.

Important Facts You Should Know:
The Insurance Commissioner for the State of Maryland stated the following in a 2008 public press release, "Documentation and communication are the two keys to a smooth recovery from your insurance company, along with a little patience." Moreover, a video of the damaged area will assist the insurance company in their investigation of your claim.
The Honorable Justice Blemus Wright stated: "Once a fire destroys possessions, it is difficult to determine true value of the possessions without documentation, which hopefully has not been consumed by the fire. Persons with possessions of above-average value ought to be aware..."
