In this article, we’ll explain how estate shares are calculated, how our probate advances align with your portion, and why thousands of heirs trust us to unlock their inheritance funding quickly and transparently.

Understanding Estate Shares in Probate

When someone passes away, their estate—comprising assets like real estate, bank accounts, investments, and personal property—enters probate to be distributed to heirs or beneficiaries. The probate process, which can take 6–24 months or more according to Nolo’s Probate Guide, involves determining each heir’s share based on a will or state intestacy laws. Your estate share is the portion of the estate’s total value you’re entitled to receive after debts, taxes, and expenses are settled.

Key Factors in Determining Estate Shares

1. Presence of a Will: If the deceased left a valid will, it specifies how assets are distributed. For example, a will might allocate 50% of the estate to a spouse and 50% to children, or name specific beneficiaries for assets like a house or savings.

2. Intestate Succession: If there’s no will, state intestacy laws dictate distribution. For instance, in California, a surviving spouse may receive 50–100% of the estate, with children or other relatives splitting the remainder, per California Probate Code.

3. Debts and Taxes: Before distribution, the estate must settle debts (e.g., credit card balances, loans) and taxes (e.g., federal estate tax for estates over $13.61 million in 2025, per IRS guidelines). This reduces the total value available for heirs.

4. Multiple Heirs or Disputes: If multiple heirs are involved or disputes arise (e.g., will contests), determining shares can delay distribution, increasing financial strain.

Understanding your share is essential for anticipating your inheritance and managing expenses during probate. A probate cash advance from Advanced My Inheritance lets you access a portion of your share immediately, without waiting for probate to conclude.

How Probate Advances Align with Your Estate Share

A probate advance provides quick estate cash based on your expected share of the estate, allowing you to address immediate financial needs like funeral costs, medical bills, or daily expenses. Here’s how our process works in relation to your estate share:

1. Estimating Your Share

During our document review, we assess the estate’s total value and your entitled portion, using documents like the will, probate petition, or asset inventory. For example:

• If the estate is worth $500,000 and you’re entitled to 20% per the will, your share is $100,000.

• We can advance up to 30% of your share (e.g., $30,000) in as little as 24 hours.

2. Non-Recourse Funding

Our advances are non-recourse, meaning you’re not personally liable if the estate’s value decreases due to debts or disputes. The advance is settled from your inheritance share, ensuring no personal repayment.

• Example: If your $100,000 share drops to $80,000 due to unexpected estate debts, you owe nothing out of pocket.

• Client Story: “I was worried about estate debts reducing my share, but Advanced My Inheritance’s risk-free advance gave me peace of mind,” said Joseph S. in a Google Review.

3. Fast and Flexible Funds

Once your share is confirmed, we deliver funds in 24–72 hours, with no restrictions on use. Whether you need to pay bills, settle debts, or support family, the cash is yours to allocate.

• Client Story: “I used my advance to cover my sister’s medical bills while probate dragged on. Advanced My Inheritance made it so easy,” shared Samantha P., who praised our “amazingly patient and understanding” team.

Common Questions About Estate Shares and Probate Advances

Understanding your estate share can be complex, especially in disputed or intestate cases. Here are answers to common questions:

• What if the estate’s value isn’t finalized?
  We can work with preliminary asset information from the executor or attorney to estimate your share and provide an advance.

• What if there are multiple heirs?
  Your advance is based solely on your share, so other heirs’ portions are unaffected. We ensure clear documentation to avoid conflicts.

• What if the estate has debts?
  Our non-recourse advances protect you from liability if debts reduce your share.
