Build with INHERIT

If you can prompt an AI to write code, you can use INHERIT

The open data standard for estate planning — JSON Schema 2020-12, TypeScript SDK, OpenAPI spec. Deterministic validation, not AI guesswork.

Why JSON Schema over ad-hoc AI parsing?

Estate data is high-stakes. AI can generate INHERIT documents, but validation must be deterministic.

Deterministic — same answer every time, no hallucination Auditable — validation results are reproducible Offline — works without API calls Standards-based — JSON Schema 2020-12

Not sure where to start?

Most developers should start with Getting Started. These paths are for specific use cases.
