Personal Property

[WillinVT]

I am trying to figure out how to list my personal property on schedule B. The Nolo books says to list every item, but there is no room on schedule B to do this. The online form gives you 2 lines. I have looked at a few petitions on Pacer done by attorneys and even people who filed pro se in my state and they basically put everything in a category and listed it.

Example: I have 14 items that are electronics (TV's, stereo, video games, ect.) Is it safe to list these items on schedule B as just Electronics and then give the value of all the electronics put together?

You list it in major categories, unless the item is pretty expensive by itself.

I broke mine into these categories;
- Household Appliances (Fridge, Stove, Washer/Dryer)
- Household Furniture (tables, chairs, couch, beds, etc)
- Household Electronics (VCR, TV, etc)
- XX" Plasma TV (because it was worth more than many other things)
- Clothing
- Books and Media (DVDs, Books, VHS, etc0
- Sporting Equipment, Cameras and Firearms

So this is what you wrote / typed in on Schedule B?

I wrote "see additional attaches sheet B-1", etc to list items. They don't give you enough room on their forms.
