Beloved Keepsakes: Sharing the Stories Behind Your Treasures

Do you wish you could capture and share the stories and history behind your most valued belongings? Different people approach this task in many different ways, from list-makers to Post-It note stickers to verbal story-tellers. But these traditional approaches have limitations—notebooks and Post-It notes get misplaced or damaged, and information shared verbally becomes harder and harder to remember as time passes by.

Consider the cost of losing track of a family heirloom or the emotional toll of forgetting the story behind your great-grandmother’s engagement ring. It’s clear that secure and proper documentation is a must for your personal property. Your belongings are priceless, filled with memories and stories that deserve to be preserved for future generations. 

Familial’s Personal Property Inventory makes cataloging your possessions simpler than ever, giving you the peace of mind that your memories will be preserved. Best of all, the feature requires only three simple steps:

  1. Name Your Personal Property: Give your item a distinct name to make it easier to locate in your inventory in the future.

  2. Take A Photo: Create a stored visual record of your item within the Familial application—a picture is worth a thousand words!

  3. Share The Story: Record a description of your personal property, using Familial’s written or audio-recording capabilities. If you choose to record an audio description, Familial will auto-generate a transcription to be stored alongside your recording.

Familial gives you the option to include additional information, including but not limited to your property’s:

  • Origin: Remember where your item comes from. Did you pick it up on your honeymoon? Collect it while vacationing abroad? Or find a hidden gem at a local store?

  • Current Storage Location: You and your loved ones will know exactly where your item is stored, so you can easily locate it when needed.

  • Estimated Value: Include an estimated value for insurance purposes or simply for personal reference.

After cataloging your items into Familial’s Personal Property Inventory you can add your loved ones as Authorized Viewers to ensure that the stories behind your cherished items are never forgotten.

Whether you’re cataloging for insurance purposes, estate planning, or personal peace of mind, Familial is with you every step of the way.
