Failing to do so could possible result in claims being repudiated, says Bertus Visser, chief executive of distribution at PSG Insure.
He lists some tips:
Remind and repeat:
Set reminders, if need be, to ensure that you take necessary precautions such as locking the kitchen door or setting your alarm.
Know what you own:
This is essential for adequate insurance cover. Get organised and assess and tally all of your belongings.
Change happens:
Consider whether you need to make adjustments to your cover. The ultimate precaution is checking that your current short-term insurance policy covers you like you think it does.
“You could be unpleasantly surprised when it matters most, so make the most of this reminder,” Visser says.
