How it works

Three calm steps. No sign-up needed to look, and you will never be charged automatically.

Catalogue what you have

Write it out, snap a photo, or add items one at a time. We identify and value things for you — possessions, property, accounts and pensions.

Your estateSee cataloguing →

See your estate clearly

Watch a clear picture build: total value, who you'd want to leave things to, and a plain check of whether any inheritance tax might be due.

Estate summarySee the estate summary →

Compare legal & tax advisers

See what a will costs and, if it's relevant for you, what tax planning could save — side by side, before you choose anyone.

Compare SRA-regulated firms, tax advisers & free-will schemes — ranked by fit

Know what a will costs — and what your estate may owe in tax — before you commit

Two questions, answered honestly and free: what a will would cost you, and whether your family would face any inheritance tax. Personalised as you add details.

⚖️ Will & legal

What a will costs

From £290

Based on your estate in England & Wales. Compare SRA-regulated solicitors near you — fixed fees, no obligation.

🧾 Tax & IHT planning

What your estate may owe

Most estates owe nothing

The first £500,000 is usually tax-free (£325k nil-rate + £175k home allowance).

We'll tell you honestly if yours might owe tax — and what you could do about it. If you're over the allowance, a tax adviser's planning often saves more than their fee.

Reviewed against the open INHERIT standard

Every value, every tax estimate and every adviser match is checked against INHERIT — an open, published standard for estates and England & Wales tax rules. That means the numbers you see are transparent and explainable, not a black box. MyFamilyInherits doesn't give legal or tax advice itself; the regulated firms we match you with do.

Explore David Richards' estate

One worked example, end to end — every screen of MyFamilyInherits, from cataloguing a model railway to the inheritance-tax picture and the conversations that come after. Have a look around.

The app itself

A sample estate for illustration — David Richards and family are fictional.

Inheritance tax figures are estimates computed from your estate against the open INHERIT standard's England & Wales tax rules (status: Stable, reviewed by a named reviewer) — they are guidance, not tax advice or a formal valuation. Will and adviser fees are estimates and may change after consultation. Most estates in England & Wales owe no inheritance tax; we'll tell you honestly if yours might. MyFamilyInherits does not provide legal or tax advice; all services are delivered by the regulated firms shown (SRA / CIOT / STEP). You can stop at any time, and you will never be charged automatically.

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 core0 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 concept2 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 30 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 32 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.
