Orange County Probate Advance — Get Cash in 24–48 Hours

A probate advance gives you immediate access to a portion of your Orange County inheritance while the probate case is still pending. Orange County estates often include high-value homes in cities like Irvine, Newport Beach, and Mission Viejo — which can mean larger estates but also more complex appraisals and longer timelines. There are no monthly payments and no credit check. You receive funds in 24–48 hours and repay only when the estate closes. If the estate can’t cover the advance, you owe nothing.

If you need a probate advance and are currently involved in a probate case in Orange County Probate Court, fill out the form at bottom below and one of our staff will reach out immediately.

To qualify for a cash advance, a probate case needs to be opened.  We will need a probate case number so we can complete our online research on the Orange County Superior Court, probate division website.

We Review Your Probate Documents

The most important document we inspect is the petition for probate filed in the Orange County Superior Court. The petition discloses the assets listed in the estate, the number of heirs, if there is a will attached to the estate, and whether the probate is full or limited authority.

Your credit and employment history is not a consideration.  An advance is not a loan. As such, we are primarily concerned with estimating your expected share of inheritance.

Quick Underwriting Decisions

No need to wait for the probate process to finish.  You can receive your inheritance advance in as little as 24 hours after we receive your application and documents.  Our streamlined underwriting guarantees you get your inheritance money fast.

Funds are wired directly to your bank account.  We can also express mail a cashiers check–it’s your choice.  How you spend your money is up to you.  

You get the immediate cash you need.  We are paid when the probate case concludes, at final distribution.  One of the benefits of an advance is if there are insufficient funds to repay us, that is our problem, not yours.

What to Expect as an Orange County Probate Heir

Orange County probate cases are filed and heard at the Orange County Superior Court, Probate Division, located at the Lamoreaux Justice Center in Orange, CA. This is the single probate courthouse for the entire county — there are no branch courts handling probate in OC.

We look up your case directly on the Orange County Superior Court website using the case number. In most situations we can pull the filing details without you needing to gather documents upfront.

From there, we review the petition for probate to estimate your share of the estate. Orange County estates frequently include significant real property, which we factor into the advance calculation. If the numbers work, funds can be in your account in 24–48 hours — no credit check, no monthly payments, repaid only at final distribution.

Orange County Probate Advance Q & A

Where are Orange County probate cases handled?

All Orange County probate cases are filed and heard at the Lamoreaux Justice Center, located at 341 The City Drive South in Orange, CA 92868. This is the only probate courthouse serving the entire county. If you need help finding your case number or confirming which court your case is in, we can look it up for you on the Orange County Superior Court website.

Most Orange County probate cases take 12 to 18 months from filing to final distribution. Cases involving high-value real estate, multiple heirs, or creditor disputes can run longer. Orange County’s probate caseload is substantial, and hearing dates are typically scheduled months in advance. A probate advance lets you access part of your inheritance now rather than waiting out the full timeline.

The legal process is the same regardless of estate value, but high-value estates — common in areas like Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, and Irvine — often involve more complex appraisals, real property sales requiring court confirmation, and multiple beneficiaries. These factors can extend the timeline. If your estate includes significant real property, that can actually work in your favor when applying for an advance, since we use total estate assets to estimate your inheritance share.

The primary document we need is the petition for probate filed with the Orange County Superior Court, along with the probate case number. Credit history and employment are not considered — the advance is based entirely on your estimated share of the estate. See our full list: Get an Inheritance Advance: Required Documents.

Yes. Many OC estates include real property that must go through court confirmation before the sale can close — a process that can add months to the timeline. You don’t need to wait for the property to sell. A probate advance gives you cash now while the sale process plays out, with repayment coming at final distribution.

How Long Does Probate Take in Orange County?

Probate in Orange County typically runs 12 to 18 months for straightforward estates. However, Orange County has a high concentration of real property — and estates that include homes requiring court confirmation of sale can take considerably longer. The appraisal process, overbidding procedures, and court approval add time on top of the standard probate calendar.

The Lamoreaux Justice Center handles all OC probate filings, and like most California probate courts, hearing dates are often scheduled several months out. If your case involves a contested will, creditor claims, or multiple heirs, expect the timeline to extend further.

A probate advance from ProbateLend lets you access a portion of your inheritance while you wait — without taking on debt, without a credit check, and without monthly payments. You repay only when the estate closes.
