Things Inheritance Loans Applicant Needs To Know

By Marissa Velazquez


You were named as an heir to an estate and the will has been contested. You know that probate may take years and you may not be willing to wait. A financial institution is offering you money for your share and you feel it is the right way to go. Read the following information about inheritance loans carefully before you make the decision to waive your rights for money.

They may be referred to as loans but they are far from that. You are not using your inheritance as part of the security needed to borrow a loan. Do not expect that at some point you will return the money and get your inheritance back. You are actually entering into a legally-binding contract to perpetually forfeit your legacy.

You must be related to the deceased. You should be the person named as the beneficiary of the estate in the will. The financier would want to know this before he or she offers you any money. After all the person advancing you money will take your place as an heir and also in the probate process, and must be sure you are not a fraudster. You therefore need to prepare copies of death certificate of the owner of the estate, and all other documentation that will help to verify that you are indeed the named heir or one of the beneficiaries.

This service is not free at all. Do not expect the funding agency to give you the exact monetary value of your inherited property. You will indeed be lucky if you get anything above forty percent. Expect to lose more than half the value of your property to compensate for your lack of patience with the probate procedure.

This facility is called a loan and you will have to fulfill all the requirements for a loan, which include being in good financial standing. The financier will assess you to ensure you have paid all your taxes, not bankrupt, and that you really support your estranged wife and children as required. This is because the financier is risking money and must bring down the risk to a manageable level.

In case some of the property is the subject of a mortgage, copies of title and all the agreements surrounding the mortgage will be required by the funding source before you are funded. Further, any issues with realtors must be supported by relevant documentation. This will be important especially when the funding body will start claiming the property after the probate

The financier may not adequately trust you. That is why he or she will go to all lengths to ensure all claims and documents you have submitted are genuine and relevant. He or she will visit the administrator of the inheritance and the attorney dealing with the probate to confirm that you are indeed a beneficiary in the estate. You will only be safe if all your documents are genuine.

Note that after being paid, all problems will be solved. Such problems may include the insolvency of your former estate. All this will be the concern of your funding institution. In spite of this, it will be crucial if you acquaint yourself with all the issues discussed in this piece before you decide to obtain inheritance loans at the expense of your rights as an heir.
