Which Estates Go Through Probate?
Most estates do. If the deceased’s assets are above a certain value, or if their property doesn’t transfer automatically (like through joint ownership or beneficiary accounts), a family member or an appointed individual must file a Petition for Estate Administration at the local court.

A long probate process can strain finances. Funeral bills, mortgage payments, or other obligations won’t wait simply because a will is tied up in court. Rockpoint Probate Funding offers a possible solution: an inheritance advance, allowing heirs to receive part of their inheritance now rather than months from now. While not everyone qualifies (and Rockpoint is currently unable to fund estates based in Indiana), many do find this path helpful if the estate is large enough and the person has a confirmed beneficiary status.
