Every option is ranked by how well it fits the estate — never by who pays. Pick an example estate to see the order change.
Every option is clear about who pays. Create a free account and we will rank them by how well they fit your own family and estate, never by who pays.
How we are paid. The standard will is £0 to you, whether or not you leave the charity a gift. The charity pays TestateTech a fee for running the scheme. TestateTech takes no share of any firm’s fees on a charity will, including upgrades. Upgrades, such as a second home abroad or a trust, are the firm’s own fixed quote before any work starts, and you can decline them. The charity never sees your will. Wording to be checked by a solicitor.
Illustrative & provisional — not legal or tax advice. IHT figures are estimates computed from your estate against the open INHERIT standard's tax rules (status: Stable, named reviewer) and are guidance, not a formal valuation. Each fee shown is the professional's own fixed-fee price, computed from your estate — MyFamilyInherits never sets or adds to it. Where a firm pays us a disclosed fee for an introduction, we say so on its row; it never changes the order, and no firm is "Recommended". Free wills from charity schemes are paid for by the charity, who hope you’ll consider a gift; there is no obligation to leave one. Where a charity funds a will, the charity pays the drafting solicitor and the family pays nothing for the standard will. Firms and charities shown are fictitious, for illustration. All services are delivered by the regulated firms shown (Law Society / CIOT / STEP). You will never be charged automatically.

This demo is built on INHERIT v2 — an open standard for describing an estate. We show you honestly which parts of this screen the standard can hold today, which are planned, and which are still gaps.
Each entry comes from either the screen’s feature list or the data the screen displays. The two traces overlap, so one feature can appear twice: these are entries, not a count of distinct features.

A change proposal (ICP) is a tracked request to extend the standard. These are the ones behind the “Planned” features across all 33 screens — and the few already adopted and built. Where the standard has a written proposal we show its status from the standard’s own record; where it does not, we say so rather than guess.
Checked against a pinned copy of the standard’s change-proposal register (73 proposals, standard at main@f63ca72e116d), and against the standard’s own record of what it has adopted (29 written proposals, 176 computed rules). Sample estate — demo data, no sign-up.
