A whole-home mental load
Decades of belongings across rooms, closets, and cabinets exceed anyone’s working memory.
Estate & downsizing
A lifetime of belongings, recorded with care.
Work room by room, give sorting boxes stable identities, and share a reviewed belongings memory with authorized family. WHER supports organization; it does not appraise property, decide ownership, or replace legal estate records.

Many objects, many decisions
The first task is remembering what is there and where it went.

FAQ
Estate & downsizing questions.
Is WHER an estate appraisal or probate tool?
No. WHER supports organization and retrieval; it does not value property, establish ownership, provide legal advice, or replace executor records.
Can we work one room at a time?
Yes. A gradual room-by-room process is a practical way to build the record.
Can relatives in other places view the records?
Authorized workspace members can search the shared records according to their access.
Can WHER decide who receives an item?
No. Families should record their decisions in the appropriate legal or planning system.
What happens when boxes move to storage?
Update their recorded location so WHER can return the new last-recorded unit, room, or shelf.
Begin with one room and one careful record.
Preserve the memory before the boxes move.
