Who is a Beneficiary?
A beneficiary is an individual who receives money or other assets from a deceased person’s Estate, as specified in their Will. This could be in the form of money, property, shares or a life insurance policy.
In most scenarios, the Beneficiary is the child or children of a parent that passes away – and this inheritance is split between the children or other Beneficiaries such as siblings, friends, grandchildren and other close parties.
One of the main challenges for a Beneficiary is that it may take up to 12 months for probate to be granted, delaying access to any of their inheritance.
This process can take even longer if there are multiple properties, shares, disputes or complex financial arrangements. In addition, when probate is granted, a large inheritance tax liability might be due and the need for immediate cash flow might be paramount.
What is a Beneficiary Loan and how does it work?
A loan for Beneficiaries, available from Inheritance and Estate Advance provider, Provira, can provide you with up to 50% of your inheritance - and it can be transferred to you in just days, rather than months.
Whether you are looking to access £20,000, £100,000 or more, the amount you can borrow from Provira is based on the value of your future inheritance - and this is verified by your Estate’s Administrator or professional firm. There is no risk to you as the borrower with no personal liability, since our claim is against the assets of the Estate.
We charge an arrangement fee of 1-2% of the loan amount and then a monthly fee of 1.5%-2% for the duration of the loan. Instead of making repayments each month, the loan is repaid in full the moment your inheritance is received and the Estate has been settled.
What are the types of Beneficiary Loans you offer?
The Beneficiary Loan we offer is called an Inheritance Advance – this provides immediate access to up to 50% of your future inheritance. The funds can be used for any purpose, the choice is yours.
Why might I need a Beneficiary Advance?

- Pay for a deposit on a new home
- Buy a new car
- Go on holiday
- Pay school fees
- Cover day to day expenses

What are the benefits Of Beneficiary Loans?
Immediate cash advance
Beneficiaries can receive up to 50% of their inheritance, without affecting other Beneficiaries, since this is calculated separately. This immediate cash injection can help solve headaches that might arise from pressing bills, important home repairs or any purpose. Being able to access money in just a few days can make a big difference to you and your family’s quality of life.
No personal liability
There are no personal guarantees or charges over your own home or property. You do not risk losing your home in any outcome, provided that there is no breach of the loan agreement.
Not penalised if your inheritance is less than expected
In the event that the inheritance is worth less than expected, you are not required to cover the shortfall, provided there is no breach of the loan agreement.
No monthly repayments
Beneficiary loans are repaid in full when probate is granted and the assets in the Estate are sold or liquidated. There are no monthly repayments and no early repayment fees.

FAQ's
We can typically approve loans within 24-72 hours provided that we receive all the relevant information and documentation. We aim to fund successfully approved loans within a matter of days.
That’s absolutely fine. Our underwriting is based solely on your share of the Estate and your Advance has no impact on the other Beneficiaries. It is also fine for more than one beneficiary of an Estate to apply for an Advance.
No, we do not take any personal security. You assign your inheritance to us for the purpose of repaying the loan. As soon as the loan is repaid the assignment ends and you receive all of your remaining inheritance. Assuming no breach of the loan agreement, this means that you never have to repay more than you are due to inherit.
No. The decision will be based on the assessment of your future inheritance. Therefore, your employment information is not relevant.
