The WhatsApp reminder for Adam, sent to his parent
Adam is 12, so his reminders go to his parent's WhatsApp, not his own. The message is short and polite. It gives a link and never says what the question is about, or anything about the estate.
Hi Sarah, Adam has a question waiting for him on MyFamilyInherits about Grandad's things. Tap to open it with him:

What Sarah sees on her phone. Sample message.
What happens when Sarah taps the link
- 1One tap to sign in. The link carries a one-time sign-in, so Sarah does not have to type her password.
- 2She lands on the question. The link opens straight onto Adam's question in HeirChat, not the front page.
- 3Adam answers it, with Sarah beside him. The person who asked sees "opened Wed" and then his answer.
A question for Adam
"Would you like the watercolour on your wall, Adam?"
Kept deliberately light
- Warm and polite, never pushy.
- No item names, values or wishes in the WhatsApp message.
- The link works once and expires, so a forwarded message opens nothing.
- "Reply STOP" turns every reminder off at once.
Decided: anyone under 16 is reminded through a linked parent's WhatsApp. With no linked parent there is no WhatsApp, and the reminder goes by email to the parent instead. Message wording is still a draft.
