Get Access to Your Inheritance Before Probate Is Finished
Receive a portion of your expected inheritance in as little as 24–48 hours — this is not a loan, with no credit checks and no monthly payments.
What Is an Inheritance Advance?
An inheritance advance allows heirs or executors to receive a portion of their expected inheritance before probate is completed. It is not a loan — there are no monthly payments, no interest, and typically no credit checks. Repayment comes from the estate distribution when probate closes. Available nationwide through licensed funding partners.
What Is an Inheritance Advance?
An inheritance advance lets heirs or executors access a portion of expected inheritance before probate is completed. Instead of waiting months (or longer) for the court process, eligible families may receive funds in as little as 24–48 hours.
Families use inheritance advances to cover time-sensitive costs like funeral expenses, estate bills, property taxes, utilities, insurance, legal fees, and urgent repairs — without waiting on the probate timeline. Executors often use an advance to keep the estate moving (maintenance, repairs, and carrying costs).
- Fast funding — often within 24–48 hours after approval
- Estate-based qualification — typically no credit or income verification
- No interest and no monthly payments
- You receive funds now — the provider is repaid later from the estate
Why Families Use Inheritance Advances
Probate can move slowly, and real life does not pause. An inheritance advance can provide fast financial breathing room while the court process runs its course. Executors often use an advance to keep the estate moving forward without paying out of pocket.
Immediate Access to Funds
Handle urgent costs now so you can make decisions without financial pressure.
Reduce Probate Waiting Stress
Probate timelines vary by state and court. An advance helps you breathe while you wait.
Handle Property and Estate Needs
Pay for cleanouts, repairs, insurance, taxes, or maintenance so the estate does not fall behind.
Estate-Based Qualification
Because repayment comes from the estate distribution, there are typically no personal credit or income requirements.

Who Qualifies for an Inheritance Advance?
Most approvals are based on the estate and the expected distribution — not your personal finances.
If you’re an executor/administrator or a beneficiary and probate is open, you may qualify.
🇺🇸 Available Nationwide • Licensed funding partner in all 50 states
Basic Qualifications
Requirements are simple and based on the estate’s value — not your credit, job, or income.
- ✔ You are an executor/administrator or a legal heir/beneficiary
- ✔ The estate is currently in probate (or actively being opened)
- ✔ The probate case details can be identified (state/county/court)
- ✔ The estate has enough value to support the advance
- ✔ You want faster access to inheritance funds while probate is pending
There are no credit checks, no job requirements, and no income verification. Repayment comes from the estate distribution — not from your pocket.
Executors & Families We Commonly Help
Executors often need liquidity to keep the estate moving — especially when there’s property involved.
- ✔ Funeral expenses and urgent estate bills
- ✔ Property taxes, utilities, insurance, HOA dues
- ✔ Repairs, cleanouts, maintenance, or home preparation
- ✔ Probate/attorney fees and administrative costs
- ✔ Out-of-state executors coordinating probate remotely
- ✔ Heirs who want access without waiting months
If you’re entitled to a distribution from an estate, you likely qualify for an advance — even if probate has just begun.
Tip: Include the state where probate is filed when you request a prescreen for faster review.
This Is Not a Loan — It's an Advance on Your Inheritance
Why It’s Not Considered a Loan
An inheritance advance is not a loan because you are not borrowing money. There is no interest, no monthly payments, and typically no credit check or income verification. Nothing is reported to credit bureaus.
- ✔ No interest
- ✔ No monthly payments
- ✔ No credit check or employment verification
- ✔ No personal liability if the estate is worth less than expected
- ✔ Nothing owed out of your pocket — ever
You receive a portion of your inheritance early, and the funding company is repaid later from the estate distribution.
How Repayment Works (Simple & Stress-Free)
Repayment is handled through the probate process and typically comes from the estate distribution when probate closes. You do not make monthly payments, and you do not repay from your personal income.
- ✔ No repayment comes from your personal bank account
- ✔ The advance is repaid from your share of the estate distribution
- ✔ No risk of going “out of pocket” even if estate value changes
- ✔ Repayment is coordinated through estate administration
- ✔ You keep the remaining inheritance after repayment
This is ideal for executors and heirs who need cash now, without taking on debt.
How Much Can You Receive?
The amount you can receive from an inheritance advance depends on the estimated value of the estate, the number of heirs, and your expected distribution. Many approvals fall in the range of 10% to 30% of the anticipated inheritance.
This approach is designed to provide meaningful funds now while keeping the remainder available for the normal probate distribution process.
Example Advance Amounts
• If your expected inheritance is $30,000, your advance may be between $3,000 and $9,000.
• If your expected inheritance is $60,000, your advance may be between $6,000 and $18,000.
• Larger estates may qualify for advances of $25,000 or more, depending on probate status and documentation.
Every situation is unique, and there is no obligation to accept an offer. You can review the estimate and decide what works best for your family.
