Overview
You wanted it, you ranked it, maybe you even called dibs. Someone else got it. Why? Usually it comes down to tier, ranking, or dibs. Maybe they outranked you, or they’re in a closer tier, or their dibs reason was stronger. The assignment reasoning tells you—check it.
Common Reasons
- Tier — They’re in a closer family tier (e.g., child vs grandchild). The algorithm prioritizes that.
- Ranking — They ranked it higher than you. #1 beats #5.
- Dibs — They called dibs and you didn’t, or their reason was stronger.
- Tiebreaker — Same tier, similar rank—age, value balance, or another rule broke the tie.
If the reasoning doesn’t make sense or you have new information, file a dispute. The executor can override.
