About Us

Nice to meet you!

We are Advanced Inheritance.
We're here to improve the lives of beneficiaries and executors by providing money when its most needed.

Who are we?

Advanced Inheritance helps to get probate moving, giving both beneficiaries and estate executors access to immediate funds after somebody has died.

It can take over a year to receive your inheritance when somebody dies. The UK probate process is often slow, leaving thousands of beneficiaries each year with an inconvenient wait for what they are due.

Advanced Inheritance was formed in the summer of 2023 to help these beneficiaries access some of what they are due straight after the death of a loved one.

In addition, we provide finance to those people who are tasked with managing the affairs of somebody who has died. This can help them to cover the associated costs such as property maintenance, legal fees or inheritance tax.

Our values

We are founded on a belief that if we do the right things by our customers and by each other, then great things can happen.

This is supported by three key values:

Be Awesome

We want to be great at what we do. That means providing outstanding solutions that serve a clear and valuable purpose; being very easy to deal with; and always looking for ways to improve.

Be Kind

Be Kind

We will always do right by our customers, our colleagues and the society in which we work. This includes offering fair value to customers and never doing business with somebody if we don’t believe that what we offer will be of benefit to them.

We’re rewilding Yorkshire

We’re rewilding Yorkshire

When we say we plant trees in order to help the environment, what we mean is that we put on our wellies, we dig holes, and we actually plant saplings with our own hands. In partnership with Make It Wild we’ve helped nature return to the British countryside by planting well over a hundred trees.
