How I hope my heirs use their inheritance

Faraid decides each heir's share. Here you can only express hopes about how they use it. Use words like "I hope" or "I request", not "give" or "must".

My general hopes

Help for specific people

Family business or property

Personal and sentimental items

Who you hope receives items of personal meaning. Under Faraid these still count towards an heir's share, unless all heirs agree after your death.

Documents, accounts and contacts

Help your executor find everything. Do not write passwords or full account numbers here.

Where my important documents are kept Accounts and policies

Digital accounts

Cryptocurrency and digital assets How my executor can access my devices People to contact

Debts and informal arrangements

Debts must be settled before Faraid. Listing informal ones helps your executor; they may still need proof.

Money I owe

Money owed to me

A personal message

Optional. Some people use this to share advice, forgive and ask forgiveness, or explain their choices.
