parcelatoAn audit log for a family's house — not a law firm, not a bank.
Parcelato records who owns what, who owes what and who decided, for the four moments when a house changes hands. It never holds money, never sells anything, and never gives legal advice. Every change has a name and a time.
The four situations
Plan — parents alive, writing it down: the papers, the things that matter with the memory attached, wishes for the children. Downsize — a parent moves to a smaller home: condition first, then keep, sell, donate or discard. Settle — after a parent passes: papers filed, things placed, claims voted, the house split or sold. Separate — a couple parts ways: the house, the papers and the things, who keeps what, decided by both and on the record.
How one becomes the next
These situations are common in the same family, in sequence. A plan becomes a settlement when a parent passes; the wishes are already the starting allocation. A downsizing becomes a settlement with the sale prices and papers already in place. A settlement becomes the beginning of your own household if you take the things you kept — the piano arrives as From Dad's estate · Mom's wish · "Her first piano lesson, 1994", and the estate keeps its copy marked Kept · moved to Ana's household. Then you tag wishes for your own children, and the cycle starts again. Each handoff is one tap and copies the people, the papers and the things with their history.
What we insist on
- Roles, not names. Your name stays in your own profile; you choose how the family sees you — a role, a nickname, an alias, or your name. You decide whether your lawyer sees it.
- Verified people. Government ID and a selfie match, once, through a verification provider; we never see the biometric. A wish counts only if it came from a verified parent.
- An append-only log, written by the database. Read-only for everyone, including us.
- Money is always a range for values, and never touches us.
Who we are
Parcelato is built by someone who has lived through more than one of these situations — a parent's house, a family deciding what happens to it — and wants other families to use it and share it. It is made for families anywhere; we have all been there, or will be.
