Advanced Inheritance launched in October 2024 to help those who need access to funds during probate.
Advanced Inheritance issues loans to customers under the Consumer Credit Act and is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, number 1012148.
Advanced Inheritance offers two product types:
- Inheritance Advance allows beneficiaries to access some of their inheritance early, thereby bypassing lengthy probate delays.
- Estate Advance allows Executors and Personal Representatives to borrow on behalf of the estate to cover the costs of its tax and administration, which is particularly useful where an estate may be asset rich but cash poor.
Advanced Inheritance’s loans all come with a range of customer safeguards including no personal liability to repay on the part of the borrower (as the loan is repaid by the estate directly); a freeze on any interest after 30 months; and borrower protection in the event of the estate being worth less than anticipated.
