Inheritance Funding Knowledge Base

This page will eventually serve as a comprehensive knowledge base for heirs navigating inheritance funding and the probate process. Many heirs encounter probate for the first time when a loved one passes away, and the legal terminology, timelines, and requirements can feel overwhelming. This resource will organize key topics into clear, easy-to-understand guides.

The full knowledge base will include articles on probate timelines, executor responsibilities, inheritance advances, estate loans, and the differences between various funding options. It will also explain how non-recourse funding works, how eligibility is determined, and what heirs should expect during the approval process. Each article will be written to help heirs make informed decisions.

Another major focus will be helping heirs understand the practical side of probate—such as how long it takes, what causes delays, and how estate assets are valued. The knowledge base will also include guidance on documentation, communication with executors, and how to prepare for funding requests.

While the full knowledge base is being expanded, you can explore our inheritance advances, review probate advance loans, or read our guide on how long probate takes. To see whether your inheritance qualifies for funding, you can begin a confidential request on our apply page.
