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.
The heir, or beneficiary, is the person noted in a will to inherit property, money, or both when the principle person dies. For inheritances, loans or advances are available on monetary amounts. Companies that provide this service know that wills can be tied up in probate for months. Instead of suffering financially, these advances and loans provide relief.
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.
A loan is a bit different. Some lending companies provide loans on inheritances that work a lot similar to an advance, using your inherited funds as collateral. Other companies may or may not work this way but they do charge an interest rate. You may also get an additional charge for processing.
Regardless of which type of method is used, you will need to fill out an application for the company. You will be required to submit documentation regarding the amount you are due to inherit. In many cases, the company will require contact information for the probate lawyer. Once you have provided everything the company needs, your application and documentation will be reviewed.
If approved, the company will tell you how much they are loaning or advancing, along with fees that are being charged. The approval process can take as little as a few days or as long as a few weeks, often depending on the complexity of your case. Be aware that the amount the company approved you for may not be as much as you requested.
Once you have been approved, you will be provided with a contract agreement to review and sign before funds are released to you. Read your agreement completely, paying particular attention to the terms regarding repayment of the loan or advance. These terms will specify if there is a dedicated date for full repayment, in addition to the fees and interest rate that may be charged.
Discuss your options with the probate lawyer that is handling your case. Allow him or her to look over your contract agreement, before you sign it. This type of funding can be helpful in your time of need, but if it is not handled by a reputable company you can wind up in near financial ruins.
