Dividing what a parent
left behind?
A step-by-step way for siblings and executors to split personal property fairly — private rankings, a fair allocation, and a record everyone can trust.
Free for up to 25 items. Upgrade anytime.
When someone passes, the will covers the house and the accounts — but not the dining table, the ring, the tools, the photographs. Those get divided by whoever asks first, argues hardest, or lives closest.
That's where families break.
Divvl replaces the group texts and spreadsheets with one fair process: everyone ranks privately, an algorithm allocates, and every decision is documented.
How it works
Three steps.
Rankings stay private until the round closes — no lobbying, no politics, no one feeling pressured.
Add the items
List what needs to be divided. Add photos and descriptions if you want; let AI suggest a ballpark value for everyday goods.
Everyone ranks privately
Each family member logs in and ranks what they want, in order. Choices are hidden from everyone until the round closes.
Items are allocated fairly
The algorithm assigns items by preference and tracks equity across rounds. Ties go to the executor — with the reason on file.
🔒 Private by design
No one sees who wants what until the round is finalized. Family dynamics stay out of the decision.
📄 Documented for probate
Every assignment and override is timestamped and exportable as a signed allocation report.
💳 Free to start
Up to 25 items with no credit card. Paid plans are a one-time payment per estate — never a subscription.
Common questions
What families ask us.
How do you divide a deceased parent’s belongings fairly among siblings?
Give everyone an equal, private say instead of negotiating item by item. In Divvl, each sibling ranks what they want in order of preference without seeing anyone else’s choices. When the round closes, an algorithm assigns items based on those preferences and tracks equity across rounds so no one comes out behind. Every decision is logged.
What if siblings can’t agree on who gets what?
Most disagreements come from the process feeling arbitrary or political. Private ranking removes the lobbying — no one knows what others picked, so there’s nothing to argue against. When two people rank the same item first, the executor resolves the tie and the reason is recorded on the allocation report.
Is there an app for splitting up an estate’s personal property?
Yes. Divvl is built specifically for dividing furniture, jewelry, art, tools, and heirlooms — the personal property a will usually doesn’t itemize. You add the items (photos optional), invite family, run one or more ranking rounds, and export a signed allocation report suitable for probate.
How does an executor document who received which items?
Divvl produces a timestamped allocation report listing every assignment and any executor override, plus an optional Personal Property Memorandum with signature lines. Each family member can also acknowledge their results in writing, creating a record that everyone agreed to the outcome.
What does it cost?
It’s free for up to 25 items, one ranking round, and 90 days of access — no credit card. Paid plans are a one-time payment per estate (no subscription): $129 Standard, $229 Pro, $399 Estate for large or multi-property estates.
Does everyone have to be in the same place?
No. Each person logs in from wherever they are and ranks on their own time before the round closes. It works for families spread across the country.
