Personal property inventory & appraisal form
A room-by-room worksheet for documenting what's inside the home, useful for the court inventory and for identifying items that may need a professional appraisal.
Go room by room
Work through the home methodically so nothing gets missed: closets, drawers, and storage areas included.
Photograph before you move anything
A quick photo of each item, and of the room as a whole, documents its condition and location.
Note serial numbers
For electronics, tools, and firearms, record serial numbers directly on the form.
Get a professional appraisal for high-value items
Jewelry, art, coins, guns, and collectibles worth more than a few hundred dollars should be appraised in writing, both for the court inventory and for a fair division among heirs.
Keep every receipt
Appraisal fees are typically a valid administration expense, reimbursable from the estate.

This inventory supports the official filing
The personal representative files a formal inventory of estate assets with the court, usually within 60 days of receiving Letters. A room-by-room worksheet like this one makes that filing, and the Chart of Executor Duties it supports, much easier to complete accurately.
See the Florida probate timeline for when the inventory is due, and real property risks during probate for what to watch for at the house itself.
This is a general overview for informational purposes and is not legal advice. Actual requirements vary by county, court, and the complexity of the estate. Consult a licensed Florida probate attorney for guidance specific to your situation.
