Probate delays are one of the most common challenges beneficiaries face after inheriting real estate. In California and many other states, probate can take anywhere from nine months to several years depending on complexity, creditor claims, court backlogs, and potential family disputes.
During this waiting period, inherited property often sits in legal limbo. The executor may need court authorization before listing the property. If court confirmation is required, an accepted offer must be approved at a hearing, which adds additional time and uncertainty.
Meanwhile, expenses continue. Mortgage payments do not stop simply because probate is pending. Property taxes, insurance, utilities, landscaping, and security costs accumulate monthly. If the property is vacant, insurance policies may require special coverage, further increasing expenses.
For many beneficiaries, these carrying costs create significant financial stress. Some heirs are forced to use credit cards, personal loans, or retirement savings just to maintain the property. Others risk falling behind on payments, which can lead to foreclosure.
Instead of absorbing this burden alone, beneficiaries may qualify for an inheritance advance through Approved Inheritance Cash. This option allows heirs to receive funds based on their anticipated inheritance before probate distribution.
Unlike a traditional loan, an inheritance advance is non-recourse. There are no monthly payments, and repayment is made directly from the inheritance when the estate closes. This structure protects beneficiaries from personal liability.
When probate delays occur, having access to liquidity can make all the difference. Approved Inheritance Cash provides a practical financial bridge so heirs can manage expenses without sacrificing long-term inheritance value.
