Sacramento County Probate Advance Q & A

Where is the Sacramento County probate court located?

All Sacramento County probate cases are handled at the Gordon D. Schaber Courthouse, 720 9th Street, Sacramento, CA 95814. There are no branch courts for probate in Sacramento County. You can look up your case on the Sacramento County Superior Court website using the case number.

 

Most Sacramento County probate cases take 12 to 18 months from the date the petition is filed to final distribution. Cases involving real property, disputes among heirs, or contested wills can take longer. Court scheduling backlogs can also add time. A probate advance lets you access your inheritance now instead of waiting for the case to close.

No. Many heirs live outside Sacramento County — or outside California entirely. As long as the probate case is filed in Sacramento County Superior Court, you qualify. We work with heirs remotely and handle everything by phone, email, and secure document upload.

We need your probate case number and a copy of the petition for probate filed with the Sacramento County Superior Court. If the estate includes real property, a recent property tax bill or appraisal is helpful but not always required. We’ll let you know if we need anything else after reviewing your case.

Yes. You do not need to wait for a property sale to get an advance. We fund advances based on your expected inheritance share, not on whether the estate assets have been liquidated. The advance is repaid from your share at final distribution — whenever that happens.

We Review Your Probate Documents

The most important document we inspect is the petition for probate filed in the Sacramento 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 With a Sacramento County Probate Advance

All Sacramento County probate cases are filed and heard at the Gordon D. Schaber Courthouse at 720 9th Street in downtown Sacramento. There are no branch probate courts in Sacramento County — every case goes through this single location.

To get started, we need your probate case number. We use that to look up your case on the Sacramento County Superior Court website and review the petition for probate. The petition shows us the estate assets, the number of heirs, and whether the estate is under full or limited authority. We do not need the case to be close to closing — we can fund advances at any stage of the probate process.

How Long Does Probate Take in Sacramento County?

Sacramento County probate cases typically take 12 to 18 months, though many run longer. The Sacramento County Superior Court handles a high volume of cases for a county of over 1.6 million residents. Scheduling hearings, completing the inventory and appraisal, publishing the creditor notice, and waiting for the court to confirm property sales all add time to the process.

Estates with real property in the Sacramento region — particularly in high-demand areas like Folsom, El Dorado Hills, and East Sacramento — can face additional delays when the market is active and multiple offers complicate the court confirmation process. If heirs live out of state or there are disputes over the will or asset distribution, the timeline can stretch past two years.

A probate advance does not speed up the court process. What it does is give you access to your inheritance now so you’re not waiting on the court to close the case before you can use your money.

Need a Sacramento County Probate Attorney?

If you need legal help with a Sacramento County probate case, our California Probate Attorney Directory lists attorneys serving Sacramento County. An attorney can help with filing the petition, navigating court hearings, and managing the estate through to final distribution.

A probate advance from ProbateLend is not a substitute for legal representation. If you’re an heir waiting on a case that’s already in progress, we can provide the advance while your attorney handles the legal side.
