A probate advance is capital that is provided directly to the beneficiaries of a probate estate prior to the disposition of the estate. A loan provided by HCS Equity to a probate estate, secured by real estate in California, is a solution to provide capital to the estate for property taxes, legal expenses, sibling equalization to preserve the Proposition 13 tax basis via a parent-to-child exclusion, property rehabilitation, or eviction of tenants. A loan to a probate estate is signed by the administrator of the estate and may need court confirmation. HCS Equity will provide all the required documents to the probate attorney to obtain court confirmation if needed.
