Decide what to keep, what to sell, and how to divide assets with confidence.
Celestial Divide helps estate planning firms guide executors and families through complex asset division with structure, clarity, and defensible recommendations — reducing conflict, confusion, and attorney back-and-forth.
Built for estate planning firms • Designed for real families
Unstructured conversations break families and drain your time.
When estates include real estate, businesses, investments, or items with emotional significance, “just split it evenly” quickly becomes unrealistic.
- Sentimental value is hard to articulate
- “Fair” means something different to everyone
- Executors get pulled into emotional mediation
- Attorneys manage conflict they didn’t sign up for
The challenge isn’t recognizing that something must be sold, it’s deciding what, when, and how in a way that feels fair to everyone involved.
A structured, defensible way to decide what to keep, sell, or distribute as cash.
Celestial Divide provides clear, practical guidance for determining:
- Which assets should be allocated directly
- Which assets are better converted to cash
- How different approaches affect fairness, liquidity, and overall value
Rather than forcing executors to guess or negotiate in the dark, Celestial Divide presents decisions that are carefully evaluated and thoughtfully structured.

Our Multi-Method Approach to Dividing Assets
It’s a multi-method approach, not a single assumption.
Celestial Divide does not rely on one formula or viewpoint. Instead, we evaluate multiple ways an estate could be divided before presenting a recommendation.
By examining several approaches, Celestial Divide helps ensure no materially better solution is overlooked.
Under the hood, Celestial Divide:
- Evaluates multiple asset-allocation scenarios
- Tests different combinations of asset transfers and cash distributions
- Considers both market value and personal significance
It’s not just organization, it provides clear
guidance
Celestial Divide is not an inventory tool or spreadsheet replacement.
Executors receive:
- A clear recommendation for how assets and cash should be divided
- Insight into why the recommended approach is preferable
- A framework that supports thoughtful, reasoned decision-making

Clarity doesn’t remove emotion, but it keeps it from running the conversation.
FAQs
Is this legal advice?
No. Celestial Divide is a structured communication and documentation tool.
When should families use it?
Ideally, as soon as someone has passed away, this ensures that the program has an many options as possible for determining what assets to keep or sell. However, incorporating it midway through the process, when some assets have already been retitled, can be helpful too.
What if family members disagree?
That’s expected. The platform highlights conflicts early so they can be addressed constructively.
Does this replace the attorney?
No. It reduces emotional friction and provides clearer inputs for professional guidance.
Is sensitive information required?
Only what’s necessary. Access is controlled by role.
