Did a probate advance take too much of your inheritance?
Companies that offer "inheritance advances" or probate loans promise quick cash to heirs waiting on an estate. They often call it a "sale" of your inheritance to dodge lending laws — while the effective cost can consume a huge share of what you were owed.
What we're investigating
We review inheritance advances, probate loans, and estate-cash products for disguised high-cost lending: arrangements dressed up as a "purchase" or "assignment" of an heir's interest, undisclosed fees, and effective rates that would be unlawful if the deal were treated as the loan it really is.
You may have a claim if…
- You received an advance against an inheritance or estate distribution.
- The amount repaid far exceeded the cash you actually received.
- The deal was labeled a "sale" or "assignment" rather than a loan.
- Fees, costs, or the effective rate were never clearly disclosed.
- You felt pressured to sign while grieving or under financial strain.
- The company took more from the estate than your agreement allowed.
Why it matters
When an inheritance advance is really a loan, it may be subject to usury limits, licensing requirements, and disclosure laws it was structured to avoid. Heirs may be able to void the deal, recover excessive charges, and keep more of what they're owed.
