WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY
"Most homeowners receive only a fraction of what they're owed — not because the insurance company underpaid, but because they couldn't remember what they owned."
— Jason Ammerman, Public Adjuster
WHY THIS WORKBOOK EXISTS
In March 2024, I lost my home to a fire. The months that followed — sitting across from adjusters, trying to reconstruct every item I owned from memory — cost me thousands of dollars in unclaimed losses. Not because my insurance wouldn't pay. Because I couldn't remember what I had.
I built the SecureGuard™ Workbook because no homeowner should have to do what I did. One afternoon of documentation — done before anything happens — protects everything you've spent a lifetime building.
This template is free. It always will be. Because the goal isn't to sell you something. It's to make sure you never have to stand in the wreckage of your home, trying to remember what you owned.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q1
What is the SecureGuard™ Home Inventory Workbook?
A free Google Sheets template that helps homeowners document everything they own before filing an insurance claim. It includes three tabs: an item-by-item inventory tracker, a SnapGuard™ photo-and-video checklist, and a ClaimGuard™ tab for managing an active claim and recovering depreciation.
Q2
Is it really free?
Yes — permanently and completely free. Enter your email, receive the link, click "Make a copy" in Google Sheets, and the workbook is yours. No credit card, no trial period, no upsell.
Q3
Do I need a Google account?
Yes. The template lives in Google Sheets, so you'll need a free Google account to make your own copy. If you already use Gmail or Google Drive, you're already set.
Q4
How long does it take to complete a home inventory?
Most homeowners finish in one afternoon — typically 3 to 5 hours, depending on home size. The SnapGuard™
The checklist tab is designed to make the process fast and systematic, so nothing gets skipped.
Q5
What is recoverable depreciation?
When you file a claim, your insurer typically pays the depreciated cash value of lost items first. Recoverable depreciation is the difference between that payment and the full replacement cost. You must actively claim it — usually within 12 months — with
receipts. The ClaimGuard™ tab tracks exactly what you're still owed.
Q6
Can I share the workbook with my insurance adjuster?
Yes. Because the inventory lives in your Google Drive, you can share a view-only link with your adjuster,
attorney, or estate planner instantly — no printing, no PDFs required.
