The Basics Of Inheritance Funding

By Kerri Stout


Following the death of a loved one, there is a somewhat lengthy process that comes with carrying out the estate disbursement detailed in a will. Probate court must certify the will and address any issues that may be raised by anyone contesting all or part of the will. Inheritance funding is a type of loan that provides an advance on funds that are left to a beneficiary.

Beneficiaries, or heirs, are the people who are set to inherit anything of monetary value. An advance of this type involves monetary funds. After the loved one dies, the will can be tied up in probate for weeks or months. During this time, you may experience financial strain. Companies that offer advances on inheritances can help alleviate this strain.

These funds are commonly in the form of an advance on a portion of the total amount you are inheriting. With an advance, the company charges a fee that is based on the amount getting advanced to you. The company does not charge interest. They get repaid when the inherited funds are released by the court and you get the remaining amount.

Another type is a loan. The lender provides you with a loan amount that you are approved for based on what you are supposed to inherit. This type can work similar to an advance, but there is one big difference. Lending companies tend to charge interest and may also charge a slew of fees as well.

Filling out an application begins the process. The company will need specific details and documentation about the inheritance and probate process. It will also be necessary to provide information about the probate lawyer. He or she may also be required to turn in some legal documentation from this point, everything will be reviewed.

From this point, your documentation and application will be reviewed. The company will decide to approve or deny your request. They will also decide on how much they are willing to advance or loan to you. This approval process can take as little as a few days or as much as two or three weeks based on the complication of your case.

Pay attention to all the details in your contract agreement. Look closely at the repayment terms. If the company is providing you with a loan, it is likely that there will be a date set for payment in full. The company may opt not to deduct the total loan from what you inherit and you will be required to repay it out of pocket.

These advances and loans provide beneficiaries with the aid they need while they are waiting for the probate process to come to an end. Regardless of your circumstances, this financial assistance is a means of accessing needed funds. It is a good idea to have the probate lawyer assist you and examine your contract before you commit.
