HeirChat · the Dovestone watercolour

A gentle conversation about who'd like this · you choose what's shared
DR SR DN MLP
Two people have said they'd love this. That's completely normal — many families do. MFI keeps both wishes side by side so you can decide calmly, in your own time. Nothing is shared beyond this thread.

Sarah · daughter
I'd love this one if it's ever an option — it always hung in Dad's study and I can still picture him there. No pressure at all, just putting my hand up. 💛

Sarah registered an interest in this painting
Daniel · son
Oh — I'd actually really like it too, if that's alright. I'd hang it in Perth and think of the walks we did there. Happy to talk it through, whatever you both think is fairest.

From your estate & the INHERIT standard
Two beneficiaries have expressed an interest in the same item. You can give it to one person, ask them to share it, or note that it should be sold and the proceeds divided. Specific gifts of a single item can't be split — so a clear note here helps your executor later. This surfaces your data and the rule; it doesn't decide for you.

I love that you both feel that way about it — it means a great deal. Let me think it over this week. Whatever I decide, I'll explain why, so there are no surprises.
Today · 09:05
Your question: "Would you like the watercolour on your wall, Adam?"
Waiting for Adam · 4 days

Because Adam is under 16, the polite WhatsApp goes to his parent, Sarah. It never names anything in your estate. See the message · Reminder settings

David's decision · draft
“The watercolour goes to Sarah, who lives closer. Daniel receives a good print of it — and I've written both of them a note explaining why.” Recorded but not yet final — you can change this any time before it's confirmed.
Visible to: David & the solicitor only · not shared with Sarah or Daniel yet

You control who's in this thread and what each person sees. We'll never share your decision until you choose to.

Built on INHERIT v2

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.

  • Supported now0 entriesThe standard already has a place for this today.
  • Supported now · shared core2 entriesSupported by the part of the standard shared across our brands.
  • Planned2 entriesA change proposal covers this. Where we can check the standard’s own record, we show its status.
  • Gap — needs planning0 entriesOn the screen, but no change proposal covers it yet. These still need planning.
  • Not a standard concept0 entriesPage furniture, or something we decided the standard should not hold.

4 traced entries on this screen, from two overlapping traces

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.

The 29 change proposals this demo relies on

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.
