Early inheritance. Fresh start.

A Scottish broker came to us with a client who needed part of their legacy early, £60,000 from a £150,000 inheritance. The aim was clear: repay debts and secure a home before the arrival of a new baby.

Waiting for probate wasn’t an option. Other routes meant delays and more pressure at an already full-on time.

We moved fast. Assessed the case, recognised the strength of the estate, and funded against the client’s share.

From application to offer? Four days.

The outcome: debts gone, home secured, headspace restored.

Swift support. Real relief. A fresh start made possible.

Can you access your inheritance before probate is complete?

Many beneficiaries ask whether they can receive part of their inheritance before probate has finished and the estate is distributed. In some circumstances, an inheritance advance may allow beneficiaries to access a portion of their expected inheritance sooner, helping with expenses such as debt repayment, property purchases or other major life events while estate administration continues.
