Start with one shared item list
Before anyone claims belongings, build a shared inventory. Photos, item names, optional rooms, and optional estimated values help everyone understand what is included.
Estate Divvy works on phone, tablet, or desktop, so participants can add items while walking through the home or review them later from another location.
Lock the inventory before scoring
Once the item list is ready, the estate owner locks the inventory. Participants then confirm they reviewed the locked list before entering private scores.
This matters because people should not be scoring different versions of the estate.
Use private scores instead of public claims
Private scoring lets each person show what matters most without pressure from the rest of the family. Everyone uses the same point budget, and individual scores stay private.
Calculate one proposed distribution
Estate Divvy uses maximum Nash welfare to calculate a proposed assignment of items. The goal is to create strong overall bundles for participants, rather than simply awarding every disputed item to the highest individual score.
