Inheritance Loans

Inheritance loans aren't really loans at all. Instead, they are cash advances available to beneficiaries entitled to assets held in probate. Probate is the process used to determine the validity of a decedent's Last Will and Testament and proper distribution of financial holdings and personal belonging.

In order to qualify for inheritance loans, beneficiaries must be entitled to at least $15,000. There are two primary inheritance cash funding sources: inheritance lending companies and private investors.

Inheritance Cash

Inheritance cash refers to a cash advance using inheritance held in probate as collateral. When estate assets are held in probate it can take months or years before distribution takes place. Instead of waiting for probate distribution, heirs can sell their pending inheritance in exchange for a lump sum cash payment.

Inheritance cash advances can be obtained through private investors, lenders or other funding sources. Beneficiaries can use the proceeds to pay off credit cards and other outstanding debts; invest in real estate, stocks, bonds, mutual funds and other investment portfolio opportunities; or fund a vacation. Unless the beneficiary has outstanding tax liens, creditor liens or child support, they are free to do whatever they desire with their inheritance cash advance

Probate Real Estate Investing

Probate real estate investing involves buying property from estates held in probate. When someone dies, all of their worldly belongings are transferred to probate. An estate executor oversees the decedent's estate until all financial transactions are completed. In some cases, probate can take several years to settle; leaving beneficiaries with a heavy financial burden.

Probate real estate investing requires a visit to the local courthouse and a bit of detective work. Investors can locate potential real estate deals by searching probate records and reading the decedent's Last Will and Testament. Wills are a matter of public record and can be viewed by anyone who is interested. The exception to this rule is when a Revocable Living Trust is executed.

Probate: A Difficult time to Deal with Heirs and the Estate

Probate is the legal process used to transfer property, real estate, personal belongings and bank account holdings. Depending on the size of the decedent's estate and family dynamics, probate can tie assets up in the court system for six months to three years. If family disputes arise, legal fees can end up costing more than the estate is worth.

Part of the problem with probate is that it involves government agencies and attorneys. When someone dies it is almost guaranteed that many people will want to stick their fingers in the inheritance pie.
