Because probate can take months, some families need the inheritance right away to cover things like funeral bills or mortgage payments. An [**inheritance advance**](https://rockpointprobate.com/kentucky-probate-law-and-how-it-works/) from **Rockpoint Probate Funding** can help in certain states by giving heirs part of what they’re due upfront, with repayment taken directly from their portion once probate ends. However, Rockpoint currently isn’t able to fund estates based in Kentucky, though they can serve some estates in other Southern states.
