Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about using Heirlogics for estate asset documentation.
How much does Heirlogics cost?
Heirlogics costs $10 per purchase, which includes 25 high-resolution image uploads, unlimited AI-powered item identification, and professional PDF and Excel reports. There is no subscription required—you only pay when you need to process images. If you need more capacity, you can purchase additional credits anytime for the same $10 price.
Can I use this for estate inventory and distribution?
Yes, Heirlogics is specifically designed for estate asset documentation. It creates detailed inventory reports with photos, descriptions, and AI-estimated fair market values for furniture, appliances, and other household items that can be shared with executors, attorneys, and heirs for probate and equitable distribution. The Excel export format makes it easy for legal professionals to work with the data.
How long does it take to create an estate inventory?
Most users complete their initial inventory in about 5 minutes of active work. The AI processing itself takes only seconds per image. Once your photos are uploaded, you receive your complete itemized report instantly. The total time depends on how many rooms and items you photograph, but the process is designed to be quick and straightforward.
What file formats does Heirlogics accept?
Heirlogics accepts JPEG, PNG, and HEIC files, making it fully compatible with iPhone photos and most digital cameras. HEIC is the default format for newer iPhones, so you can upload photos directly from your phone without converting them first. Each image can be up to 20MB in size.
Is my data secure and private?
Yes, your data is stored securely in the cloud with encryption. We understand the sensitive nature of estate proceedings and maintain strict privacy and security standards. Your photos and inventory data are only accessible to you and are never shared with third parties. You can delete your data at any time.
How accurate are the AI valuations?
AI-generated valuations are fair market value estimates based on the item type, condition, and current market data. They provide a working starting point for discussions about estate assets. These estimates are useful for ordinary household goods, but for high-value items like fine art or antiques, you may want to obtain a professional appraisal.
Can I edit the AI-generated inventory?
Yes, you can review and edit any item in your inventory before downloading reports. You can correct item names, adjust values, add executor or heir notes, or remove items that were incorrectly identified. The goal is to give you a solid starting point that you can refine as needed.
What report formats are available?
Heirlogics provides both PDF and Excel (XLSX) reports. The PDF is formatted for easy reading and sharing with attorneys or heirs. The Excel format is ideal for executors and attorneys who need to sort, filter, or perform calculations for probate filings. Both formats include all items, photos, descriptions, and valuations.
Can I preview the report before I buy credits?
Yes. Visit our sample report preview to see the structure of the PDF summary and spreadsheet output before you create an account.
Is Heirlogics a substitute for legal advice?
No. Heirlogics is a documentation tool, not legal advice. Laws regarding probate and estate distribution vary by location, and estate proceedings have specific requirements that depend on your jurisdiction. Always consult with a qualified estate attorney about what documentation is appropriate and legally required for your situation.
Can I share my report directly with my attorney?
Yes. Download your report as a PDF or Excel file and send it directly to your attorney, executor, or heirs. The PDF is formatted for easy reading, while Excel lets your attorney sort, filter, and calculate totals for probate inventories. Many attorneys find Excel most useful because they can annotate it and incorporate it into their own documents.
What if items have already been moved or removed from the estate?
Document what you can access. If items have been removed, photograph the space where the item was if possible, and add a written description in the notes field describing what was there. This creates a timestamped record. For items you know existed but can no longer photograph, consider whether receipts, insurance records, or other documentation can support your account — your attorney can advise on what's most useful.
Will my report hold up in probate court?
Heirlogics produces a structured, timestamped asset inventory with fair market values. Probate courts and attorneys generally find itemized lists with valuations useful as a starting point for inventories. The report's value in proceedings depends on your jurisdiction and the specific items in question. For high-value items — jewelry, art, antiques — a professional appraiser's valuation will carry more legal weight. Your attorney can advise on what level of documentation is required for your situation.
