Avoid first-come, first-served decisions
A first-come approach can feel efficient, but it often rewards speed, proximity, or assertiveness instead of actual preferences.
Estate Divvy gives each participant the same private scoring process so the final result reflects the full set of belongings.
Keep preferences private
Siblings may want items for sentimental reasons they do not want to explain publicly. Private scoring lets those preferences count without requiring a family debate over every item.
Use a fairness method built for indivisible goods
Estate Divvy uses maximum Nash welfare for the final calculation. For additive preferences, this method is known for strong fairness properties, including envy-free up to one good.
The final report shows who receives which belongings while keeping individual scores private.
Separate unwanted items
If everyone marks an item as Don't want, Estate Divvy keeps it out of participant bundles and lists it separately for donation, sale, disposal, or another family decision.
