What is an inheritance advance?
An inheritance advance is a form of finance based on an expected entitlement from a deceased estate. JustFund advances an approved amount, which is later repaid from the beneficiary’s share of the estate.
The advancement of an inheritance does not change the will or increase the value of your entitlement. It simply provides earlier access to part of the amount you are expected to receive.
Unlike a conventional personal loan with regular repayments, JustFund’s inheritance advance is structured to be repaid when the estate is distributed.
Interest, fees and eligibility requirements apply, so applicants should review the terms and total cost before accepting funding.
Early access when you need it
A JustFund inheritance advance gives eligible beneficiaries access to part of their expected inheritance before the estate is distributed. Approved funds can help manage current financial needs, with repayment deferred until the estate is finalised.
How does an inheritance advance work?
JustFund’s process is designed to give beneficiaries a clear path forward:
Apply:
Tell us about the estate, your expected inheritance and the amount you would like to access.
Assessment:
Our team reviews the estate, your expected entitlement and the available documents to determine your inheritance advance eligibility.
Approval:
If approved and the required conditions are met, an agreed amount can be advanced to you.
Repayment:
The advance, interest and applicable fees are repaid from your entitlement when the estate is distributed.

Access your inheritance early with JustFund
Inheritance advance loans may help eligible beneficiaries pay for pressing expenses while estate administration continues. Depending on the approved purpose and amount, funds could assist with:
- Mortgage, rent or household expenses
- Personal debts and urgent bills
- Education or family costs
- Property-related expenses
- Other approved financial needs
Probate requirements vary between Australian states and territories. A grant of probate generally confirms an executor’s authority to manage estate assets.
Receiving inherited assets may also involve tax considerations. Learn more about how inheritance is taxed in Australia.

FAQs
How is an inheritance advance different from a loan?
An inheritance advance is still a finance product, but it differs from many conventional personal loans. Assessment focuses on the estate and your expected entitlement, while repayment is generally deferred until the estate is distributed.
Do I need to wait for probate to be approved?
Not always. Whether a probate grant is required before funding can be provided depends on the estate, available documents and JustFund’s assessment. Approval should not be assumed until the application has been reviewed.
How much of my inheritance can I access early?
The approved amount depends on factors such as the estimated value of your entitlement, estate liabilities, administration progress and other risks. JustFund assesses each application individually and will explain the amount available and applicable costs before you decide whether to proceed.
