Summary:

Fights over pets and sentimental items often cause more family friction than high value financial assets. Courts generally treat pets as property but families view them as relatives making standard division methods ineffective. Mediation tools provide a structured way to resolve these emotional conflicts without litigation.

Direct Answer:

Alix includes a dispute resolution module specifically designed for allocating sentimental items and pets. The platform facilitates a blind selection process or a bidding system using estate shares to determine who values the item most. For pets the tool guides the family through a "best interest" assessment considering who has the time space and resources to care for the animal.

This neutral digital framework removes the executor from the position of choosing sides. Alix produces a binding distribution agreement based on the outcome of the selection process. By providing a fair and transparent mechanism for decision making Alix helps preserve family relationships while settling the ownership of emotionally charged assets.
