We are Advanced Inheritance.
We're here to improve the lives of beneficiaries and executors by providing money when its most needed.
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.
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
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.
Be Successful
We hold ourselves to high standards. We work hard for our customers and each other, and we pay attention to detail. We want to deliver a world-class service, and we know this can only happen consistently if we get things right at every stage.

A National Living Wage Employer
Great service starts at home, which is why we’re committed to creating a great environment for our colleagues and ensuring that everybody is rewarded fairly for their hard work. As part of this, we’re proud to support the Living Wage Foundation’s National Living Wage for all colleagues and suppliers.
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.
We provide more than just money
We understand that losing a friend or family member can be a difficult time, and we’re committed to supporting customers with patience and compassion. That’s why we’ve partnered with the National Bereavement Service to ensure that our customers have access to the help and support they need.
Whether you’re an existing customer or you’re interested in one of our services, we’ll always be happy to help.
