Read This Before You Apply For Inheritance Loans

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.

Since the funding organization is in business, it will charge you for its services. Do not therefore expect to get the exact value of the property you were to inherit, and which you are forfeiting to the funding agency. In actual sense, you may be lucky to get even half the value of your property since the financier is risking his or her money. This is due to the lack of patience to wait for the probate in order to get the real value of your inheritance.

You will also be required to be financially sound. The funding agency will check things like bankruptcy, tax evasion, or any other kind of situation that would make you ineligible for the loan. Bear in mind that the financier is risking his money and must mitigate and minimize the risks.

If the property you wanted to inherit is mortgaged, then you will have to offer proof especially copies of property and other pertinent documents. If it is under realtors, you are still going to follow the same procedure. Remember the funding agency will inherit this property and would want to be clear on its ownership status before letting you go with their money.

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.
