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
