FAQ

Questions families ask before dividing belongings.

Estate Divvy is designed to make a sensitive process feel clear, private, and structured without pretending family decisions are easy.

What is Estate Divvy?

Estate Divvy is a web app for family members and estate heirs dividing inherited belongings and personal property. Families build one shared inventory, score items privately, and receive one mathematically guided proposed distribution.

Who is Estate Divvy for?

Estate Divvy is designed for family members, estate heirs, siblings, relatives, executors, and family representatives who need a clearer way to divide a loved one's belongings, household items, collections, heirlooms, and other physical personal property.

How does the scoring process work?

Each participant privately scores the inventory using the same point budget. People can mark items they do not want, and scores are submitted only when every item has been reviewed.

Can people see each other's scores?

No. Individual preference scores stay private. The final report shows the proposed distribution of items, not each person's private scoring details.

When do families pay?

Families can create an estate, invite participants, and build the inventory before paying. Payment is only required when everyone has submitted scores and the group is ready to see final results, unless the estate qualifies for the free limit.

What happens if nobody wants an item?

Items that everyone marks as not wanted are separated from the proposed distribution so the family can decide whether to donate, sell, store, or discard them.

Does Estate Divvy replace legal advice?

No. Estate Divvy helps families organize and divide personal property. It is not legal, tax, probate, or estate-planning advice.
