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.
An heir is the person who is designated to receive money or property from the deceased. Receiving funds, in this instance, occurs as an advance or loan against the amount you are set to inherit. The probate process can take some time to get through even when there are no problems with the will or anyone contesting. There are companies that offer financial assistance while you await the closing of the case.
You should understand that this funding is not always in the form of a loan. It is an advance on some of the money you are inheriting. The company charges a fee for this advance. Advances do not have interest that accrues. After the funds are released by the court, the company deducts the amount that was advanced and the fee from the funds.
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.
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.
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.
