Catalog · Value · Share

The things they loved, shared among the people they loved.

Estate Wise helps families record everything in a loved one’s home, agree on what it’s worth, and divide it evenly, with every story kept along the way.

Example
Grandpa’s farm table

“Built from the old barn wood the summer Mom was born.”

A gentler way to divide a home.

i.

Catalog the house

Room by room, photograph each piece and jot down where it came from, while the memories are fresh.

ii.

Agree on values

Record appraisals where you have them, get an estimate from recent sales, and settle on the value your family agrees on. Everyone sees the same numbers.

iii.

Share it evenly

Note who has asked for each piece and decide where it goes, while Estate Wise keeps each person’s total in balance.

Fair shares

Fair, and everyone can see it.

No one has to keep score in their head. Totals update as each heirloom is decided, pieces nobody keeps can be sold with the money shared equally or donated, and if two people ask for the same piece, you’ll know before it becomes a hard conversation.

Balance so far
Example
Ben$2,150
Sarah$2,050
Maria$1,900
Example family. Each total counts what they’ve received plus their share of anything sold.

Every heirloom has a story.

Who bought it, where it sat, what it meant. Write it down with the photos and it stays with the piece, so the next generation knows why it matters. Every piece gets its own number, so you can text a link to it.
