    We have been getting unwanted mail from this company for months. I just sent my second email to have us removed from their mailing list. On one day, we received FOUR pieces of mail from this ignorant company. They are claiming that our inheritance money is held up in probate. Clearly, they have NO CLUE what they are talking about. The property is NOT in probate. In fact, the property has SOLD & CLOSED months ago & we received our inheritance money months ago. What a waste of paper!!

    ************** complains about receiving marketing materials from Probate Advance. We regret any inconvenience to *****. Probate Advance relies on public probate documents to reach consumers and its customers are never under any duress to do business with Probate Advance. Consistent with our practice of promptly removing any consumer from our mailing lists upon request, we will remove ************** from any future mailing distribution lists, but, unfortunately, we are unable to locate her in our records. We will promptly remove her from any future correspondence in the event she follows up with us.

    I regret taking advances and they continue to email me regarding taking another one. Im so angry and disgusted with your company, I dont know how to express myself. I agree you should be entitled to the amount that I borrowed but the fees are excessive. Im not going to get anything from my disbursement when it comes because the company will taking be taking about 100%. Please dont apologize. I wish for you to charge 20% Im a disabled veteran and unemployed and it feels like your trying to kill me, and you have been predatory as well. You told me I couldnt even get a small advance. you keep emailing me and mail to get an advance. I feel for this sham!

    We are sorry for the frustrations that you are having. We have removed you from the contact list so you should not receive further emails or mail. At this time, your case is still open and the final amount owed is yet to be determined.

    This scam company sent me an unsolicited letter promising to pay me pennies on the dollar for the estate of my recently passed mother. Only a bottom feeder would be so callous to do this to someone at a vulnerable time in their life.

    The company has sent multiple unsolicited letters regarding my father's estate, which is *not* held up in probate. I initially emailed them to have my name removed from their mailing list, but I continue to receive their letters. Furthermore, each letter has a different return address (two in ** and one in **), which lends the whiff of a scam. Also, the most recent letter used a different name; the first two clearly read "Probate Advance," while the latest one says "InheritFast." However, all of them have the *same* mailing list opt-out code. While some people may genuinely need estate advances, this company's tactics are sleazy, as it shouldn't require mailing the bereaved one of their letters weekly or biweekly to make their services known. The idea of the Probate Advance staff scouring probate filings in order to start inundating the beneficiaries with letters just sounds pathetically opportunistic... especially at a time when those named are still grieving the loss of a loved one. The fact that Probate Advance is attempting so aggressively to profit from my father's estate makes me seriously question their self-proclaimed A+ rating with the BBB.

    This company is disgusting. Trolling obituaries and obtaining the listed survivors contact information in order to prey upon them is despicable. As if the death of a family member isn't traumatizing enough, receiving multiple mailings with a deceased loved ones name on it over the last year has been just a kick in the gut. ************** your services online or in print like any other company as opposed to targeting grieving family members. You're gross.

    ************ looking to lure you in for probate services. My mother's estate was non-probate but they make up case number to try to get you to get a free quote for their services for "probate".Their letter indicated my mother's estate was tied up in probate court which is totally incorrect.They have a A+ Rating with the BBB which seems wrong!

    Many people believe that probate advance companies are shady, but that has not been my experience. As long as you understand how the fee works, there should be no problem. They were a great help. *** in particular was very easy to work with.

    STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!When I spoke to **** on in regards borrowing $5,000 against my inheritance, he talked me into doubling that amount. He did so by stating that the amount they would receive would be $5,000, and that it would me money. He told me I would be charged $5,000, if it settled within 6 months, anything after would be and additional $2,000 : $17,000. Imagine my surprised, when ai found out they charged my $9,500! Im pissed! I would have NEVER agreed to that! I would have looked into other resources. The only reason, I borrowed in the place was because I became the caregiver of my mother and I had a lot of work to do on her house! I was looking for the additional money that they took from me! I know I wont get it back! Which is much needed, as I am still working on her home. But I call this a learning experience. It will never happen again!

    We regret **************** experience, however ************ executed an assignment agreement that clearly disclosed the amounts owed under the funding. ************ executed their assignment agreement and Probate was repaid consistent with the agreement. We hope that the funding provided by Probate Advance helped ************, and consider this matter closed.

    Very helpful start to finish. Process was complete within 2 business days. *** provided clear and responsive customer service, even reaching out on a holiday to address a question. For those who require it, this company provided expeditious assistance in a time of need. More than happy to leave a positive review as this option for some financial relief was so appreciated. Thank you!
