After the death of a loved one, the executor of their estate must hand over whatever funds they have left to the heirs. Many executors will work with an attorney to disburse the money in small amounts over time. While the probate period can vary widely by state, Probate Advance reports that it can take anywhere from two months to two years. The latter can be a long time to wait, especially if you’re in need of the money right away.

Fortunately, if you need your inheritance now, there are options. The easiest way to get an advance on your inheritance is to get a cash advance. In fact, some of these advance companies will get you an advance in under 24 hours. Before settling on a company, make sure to get an idea on every option available with an online search, so you can find the right one for you and avoid spending more than you need to.

If you need help starting your search, here is everything you need to know about getting an advance on your inheritance, including some advance companies that are worth your consideration.
