Annuities
Annuities are financial contracts made with an insurance company. Policy holders agree to contribute either a lump sum payment or series of payments in exchange for periodic payments to be returned immediately or at a later date. In essence, annuities are similar to a savings account. Funds are contributed, interest in accrued and annuity payouts are distributed according to terms outlined when the account is established.
One benefit of establishing annuities is they allow Annuitants to obtain tax-deferred growth of earnings. Most annuity agreements allow Annuitants to establish beneficiaries to receive future payments if the Annuitant dies before the policy expires. Annuities can also be established to pay only the Annuitant or divide funds amongst dependents.

Deed of Trust
A deed of trust is a legal document used to secure interest in real estate. Some states use trust deeds instead of mortgages. Although these two documents are similar in nature there is one primary difference. With a deed of trust the lender retains the property title until the loan is paid in full. With a mortgage, the buyer holds the title while the lender is provided with a property lien.
Deed of trust mortgages involve three parties and include the borrower, lender and trustee. The borrower is provided with a mortgage loan through the lender and must designate the lender as beneficiary to the legal title. The trustee retains the property title throughout the duration of the loan.

I Buy Houses
As a private investor I buy houses on a regular basis. On average, I view around 100 houses per month. Every day, I hear incredible stories of the life struggles people are facing. Many of the homeowners are facing foreclosure or bankruptcy. Others are going through a divorce or have recently lost their spouse due to illness or accident. Some need to sell their house because they have lost their job.
When I entered the "I buy houses" arena, my primary goal was to make money. I didn't realize that buying houses would ultimately offer distressed homeowners the opportunity to make a fresh start. While making money is fun, helping people out of bad situations is even better!

Inheritance Money
Inheritance money refers to cash and financial holdings gifted to heirs through a Will, trust or probate. When money and valuable assets are inherited, they must be processed through the court system to ensure the estate is distributed according to probate laws. An exception to this rule is when inheritance money is protected through trusts.
During probate, inheritance money is generally transferred to an estate bank account. All assets owned by the decedent must be inventoried and appraised. Financial accounts are frozen to ensure outstanding debts, taxes, liens and judgments are paid. Upon approval from the judge, final distribution can be made to named beneficiaries

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
