The Basics Of Inheritance Funding
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.
The heir, or beneficiary, is the person noted in a will to inherit property, money, or both when the principle person dies. For inheritances, loans or advances are available on monetary amounts. Companies that provide this service know that wills can be tied up in probate for months. Instead of suffering financially, these advances and loans provide relief.
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.
These funds can be in the form of a reassignment or as a loan. Advances are reassignments. On the other hand, a loan can work similar to an advance in terms of payment to you and in repayment. The difference is that interest is charged on the amount that is advanced to you. If an interest rate is charged, the company may or may not charge a processing fee.
Regardless of which type of method is used, you will need to fill out an application for the company. You will be required to submit documentation regarding the amount you are due to inherit. In many cases, the company will require contact information for the probate lawyer. Once you have provided everything the company needs, your application and documentation 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.
You should also be aware of the terms of your agreement. Some companies have a deadline on repayment. In these cases, usually with loans, you are required to pay the money back by a certain date. If the will is still going through probate, you may have to pay out of pocket, unless the loan is set up to be taken from the inherited funds.
Getting funding on what you will be inheriting can be helpful in taking care of financial needs. It is specifically helpful if there was not a life insurance policy, or when the insurance company is taking too much time to disburse funds. Be sure to read your contract carefully and, if possible, have your lawyer look it over as well.
