💡
You cannot leave money to a pet — but you can plan properly for one. In England & Wales a pet is legally "property", so Biscuit passes under your will like any belonging. The way to provide for him is to name a guardian and leave them a cash gift for his care (here £3,000), with your wishes recorded alongside. Ask the guardian first — nobody can be forced to take a pet on.
Who will look after Biscuit INHERIT rules
A first choice and a back-up, so there is never a gap.
PR
Paul Richards
Son · first-choice guardian
SR
Sarah Richards
Daughter · substitute guardian
Plain English: this is a request, not a legally binding order — which is why agreeing it in advance, and leaving a care fund, matters so much.
Biscuit's care wishes ✓ saved
🍽
Feeding — twice daily, 7am and 5pm. One scoop dry food; no chocolate, grapes or cooked bones.
🔑
Spare key — with the next-door neighbour, Jean at No. 25, for the first few days.
📞
First call — ring Paul first; he has agreed to take Biscuit and knows his routine.
💊
Medication — daily joint supplement with breakfast; flea & worming every 3 months (vet has the schedule).
🐾
Routine — two walks a day; nervous of fireworks; sleeps in the utility room; loves the park by the canal.

As INHERIT data open standard
Everything on this page is structured, portable data — not locked into MFI.
| Feature | INHERIT source | What it does here |
|---|---|---|
| Pet record | asset.pet · species, age, microchip | Holds Biscuit's identity, vet and insurance links |
| Guardian | pet.guardian + pet.guardian.substitute | Records the first choice and the back-up, with agreed status |
| Care wishes | pet.careWishes[] (structured + free text) | Feeding, routine, medication and key handover notes |
| Care legacy | bequest.cashGift → guardian | The £3,000 cash gift that funds Biscuit's care |
| Estate & tax | tax.iht.chattel (negligible value) | The pet's own value is nil for IHT; the £3,000 is a normal cash gift |
Biscuit is part of David Richards' sample estate — a fictional example. In England & Wales an animal is legally property and cannot itself inherit money; provision is made by gifting the pet to a chosen guardian together with a cash legacy and recorded care wishes. Care arrangements are requests, not binding orders. Tax figures are a guide computed against the INHERIT E&W Tax module for planning only — not tax advice. MyFamilyInherits does not provide legal or tax advice; regulated firms do. We will never charge your card 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 now1 entriesThe standard already has a place for this today.
- Supported now · shared core0 entriesSupported by the part of the standard shared across our brands.
- Planned3 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 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.
