Probate & Inheritance · $1,000 – $50,000+
The inheritance is yours. The court is just slow.
Probate can take a year or more before a single dollar is distributed — while the funeral bill, the property taxes, and the upkeep on the estate all come due now.

What people in your position
are actually dealing with
- The estate can't distribute until creditors and the court clear it
- You're fronting funeral, property tax, or maintenance costs personally
- A sibling or another heir is contesting the will
- The executor is slow, unresponsive, or out of state
- There's real property that has to be maintained or sold before anything pays out
Realistic timeline
Uncontested probate commonly runs 9 to 24 months. Contested estates, or estates holding real property that must be sold, routinely run 2 to 4 years.
Why funding fits this case
A probate advance is not a loan and not a pre-settlement advance — the funding company purchases a portion of your expected inheritance and waits to be paid directly from the estate distribution. You don't make payments, and there's no credit check. If the estate ultimately distributes less than projected, that shortfall is the funder's risk, not a debt that follows you.
Typical advance range
$1,000 – $50,000+
Set by the funder based on your documented share of the estate.
How it works
From application to cash
Two minutes on your phone
Tell us it's a probate matter, what state you're in, and how much you need. No credit check, no documents to upload.
We verify the estate
The funder reviews the will, the case number, and your share — coordinating with the executor or estate attorney. You're not chasing anyone.
Money lands
If it qualifies, funds typically arrive within 24–48 hours of approval — direct deposit or check, your choice.
A probate advance is not a loan. The funder purchases part of your expected inheritance and is repaid from the estate distribution — no monthly payments, no credit check. If the estate ultimately pays out less than projected, that shortfall is the funder’s risk under a properly written non-recourse assignment. Read that clause before you sign anything.
Probate & Inheritance questions
Straight answers.
Do I need an attorney for a probate advance?
Usually not, which is the big difference from injury funding. What the funder needs is documentation of the estate — the will, the case number, and confirmation of your share — and cooperation from the executor or estate attorney.
What if another heir contests the will?
A contest doesn't automatically disqualify you, but it changes the risk, so funders will typically advance less until the dispute resolves.
Do I have to repay it if the estate pays out less than expected?
In a properly structured non-recourse advance, no. The funder is purchasing a portion of your interest and takes the risk that it's worth less than projected. Read the assignment terms carefully — this is the single most important clause in the agreement.
Will the other heirs find out?
The assignment is generally disclosed to the executor or estate attorney, since they direct the distribution. It typically does not change what other heirs receive.
