We’re thrilled to learn about how FairSplit has helped you!
FairSplit totally saved our sanity when we were dealing with my late father’s storage units. We have recommended them to others who, for reasons of distance or other considerations, need a remote or on-line solution to dividing assets. We chose to have David be the Independent Third-Party Administrator for our division, which was extremely helpful. He was very hands-on when help was requested and worked closely with one family member who needed some extra assistance to complete the selection process. Without David’s help, Dad’s stuff might have remained sitting in storage for months or years longer. Save your sanity, call FairSplit.com! (A. Shores)

I had the good fortune of working with David and the Fair Split Team on a recent downsizing activity for the Family…it was a truly professional experience that made it easy for everyone to participate in the division of the possessions virtually and obtain the items that truly had true sentimental value to them.
The Fair Split software was very intuitive and made the cataloging of the Family possessions easy. You simply create your residences, then create your rooms, take your pictures and create the item listings. The Software is very easy to work with, you can stop and save your work at anytime, view reports of each residence or room.
The three selection rounds are designed to give each Participant a “fair” chance to obtain the Family possessions that are meaningful to them. The entire process is virtual so it eliminates any distance barriers for Family member that cannot travel.
Fair Split offers additional services for evaluation, mediation, etc., so you can tailor the Services to your needs…it is a must for any Executors or Trustees!

We had the task of dividing our parent’s estate during the onset of the Covid 19 pandemic. Family members lived across the country and could not travel. Division was at a standstill resulting in the house and estate assets standing idle.
The FairSplit website was accessible to all heirs to view, choose and obtain items of interest to them while remaining in their own locale.
Now that travel is possible again, family members can travel to the property to get their items or have them packed and shipped at their expense.
The ease of developing inventory reports for each heir and for the estate attorney has been an exceptional benefit to me as executor.
Finally, the expertise and assistance of David in being the impartial administrator during the division rounds assured all heirs that the division of assets was fair and unbiased.

I am deeply grateful for the even hand and very kind assistance David and Team brought to my family’s division of personal property. Because I’m not very computer literate David helped me with navigating the sight…etc. making it easy for me to participate. He was available and patient with my questions. I highly recommend engaging the FairSplit Service. Thank you so much David and All ! You are wonderful!

David M. from FairSplit was our Admin for our rounds and was extremely helpful and did a wonderful job. He made the division of property go smoothly and quickly. I definitely recommend using the Admin Service if you have multiple Divisees (heirs) and one of them is the Executor. Again, thanks David M. for the excellent service.

I had no idea how to allow my siblings and me to select items we’d like from my Father’s estate – especially with not all of us able to travel (e.g., Covid). Plus, we have grown children who were also interested. I found FairSplit using a Google search and signed on almost immediately. The program was easy to use. Taking and labelling the photos took a while but was very helpful. I had David be the Administrator and that made it easier on me and more fair all around. David was very responsive to scheduling requests and answering questions, plus the guide has lots of information. There were absolutely no complaints about what each person got and one sibling remarked that using the program was ‘brilliant’. I’m a very pleased customer!

The FairSplit system was a fantastic tool for our family of 12 siblings when we needed to divide our parents’ things. We are spread out around the country and Covid has made it even more difficult for some to travel so FairSplit was the perfect solution. FairSplit also helped neutralize the potential for problems with some family members. The process was fair and it was fun to see who got what after each round. David served as our administrator during the selection rounds and he was very patient and helpful with any issues we had. Having him serve as administrator also took a huge load off my shoulders and made it possible for me to be completely independent during the asset review and selection. Setting up the inventory was easy to do and the website is very user friendly. I highly recommend FairSplit and am so thankful it was available.

My four siblings and I used FairSplit to divide up our mother’s estate. We created several categories and held multiple rounds over 6+ months to distribute 1000+ items/groups of items among ourselves and identify remaining items for donation. We live far apart, each of us has strong emotional and other attachments to many of our mother’s possessions, and as a family we’re good at procrastinating and terrible at making difficult decisions. The division of our mother’s estate could have been extremely contentious, divisive and protracted. It did remain inherently painful for most of us, but we had a great experience with FairSplit. The rounds went smoothly with great technical support and provided a fair, transparent process we could all trust. This was invaluable in our situation, and it’s hard to imagine how we could have done the division without FairSplit. In fact, FairSplit allowed us to make something good out of the situation. Our mother loved auctions, so we actually feel we were doing something she herself would have appreciated and enjoyed and that respected and honored her legacy. I highly recommend FairSplit and am so grateful we were able to take advantage of this incredible resource.

FairSplit was the perfect tool when my two sisters and I had to divide up furniture, family heirlooms, art work, and all kinds of other household things, when my parents moved to a much smaller apartment. We decided to actually allocate everything at this one time, ignoring whether my parents would take it with them or not, so we didn’t have to do this painful process again. Although we had different ideas of how this should be done, several things were invaluable. One – we live far apart and we could do this together online. Two – the system assigned things randomly, so we all got things we wanted and we all saw things we wanted assigned to a different sister. Because it was impersonal, it felt fair. Three – because we were doing this online, there was no pressure to do this within a time frame of a few days visit at my parents. We did several rounds of choosing over a month.
When we had technical difficulties, the staff at FairSplit were quickly responsive and explained what to do, or fixed a bug immediately.
I highly recommend this for use in dividing estates, downsizing, etc. Thank you FairSplit.

It was a good deal for her (sister), but it was a great deal for me because I didn’t have to negotiate face to face with someone who causes me so much emotional trauma. It was a blind, fair split.

I have been wanting to thank you for almost a year now, for creating FairSplit. I don’t know how us four siblings could have done the split of our parent’s vast amount of stuff without it. We all live in different places and aren’t necessarily the best at getting along. Getting everything done through your program was huge. And then we got together for one weekend and cranked through the rest of the small stuff. Thank you so so much!!

Your FairSplit system was remarkable. It allowed me to clean-out my home which had sold over a weekend and needed to be emptied in a month. With the assistance of the FairSplit team and the flexibility of their system, I was able to distribute about 280 pieces of furniture and possessions to 14 relatives in 20 days! And, as important, I could randomize the process keeping me out of the selection process. FairSplit saved the day. Thank you.
