Find your Estate Expense Finance Options
Expenses often need to be paid when administering an estate before assets have been distributed to the beneficiaries. Our service can help executors and personal representatives pay for these expenses to ensure an estate is administered as efficiently as possible.
We provide a fast, friendly and professional service to help you get the money you need at the best available rates.
If you are the Executor of an estate, you may need to cover various property-related expenses.
This responsibility often extends beyond simply distributing assets to beneficiaries. One of the main responsibilities involves covering various costs associated with the estate, particularly property-related ones. In relation to the property, one of the most important matters is the Testamentary expenses, which include funeral costs, house repairs, and insurance. These are among the first obligations that must be addressed.
By taking care of these matters, you determine that the condition and value of the estate are maintained until it is settled. This is particularly important when sold to a beneficiary. Insurance is equally important, protecting the estate's assets from unforeseen damage or losses during the probate process. Nevertheless, many Executors confront the lack of liquid assets required to pay off these costs. Liquid assets are cash or things that can converted to cash quickly.

Often, it requires the Executor to pay it themselves, which can be very financially draining. If the liquid assets in the Estate are insufficient, Executors can seek estate expense funding. This service is designed to provide financial support through a loan, which can be used to pay the necessary testamentary expenses. Estate expense funding comes in handy when the estate has valuable assets but lacks cash flow. The lender typically may take collateral in the form of estate assets, as it assures of repayment after the settling of the Estate Estate Expense funding provides a financial lifeline for those who cannot afford the estate’s costs.
Covering the necessary expenses prevents them from depleting their personal savings and doesn’t get in the way of their financial goals. Once all the estate affairs are settled, the loan is repaid from the proceeds. This ensures that the Executor is not left out of pocket. As an Executor, it's important to take proactive steps and tick all the boxes financially, whether it be with a loan or just for advice. Done properly, it can make the process of sorting out the affairs of the deceased much easier.
I approached Clifton Private Finance to help me get a mortgage as an Expat working in the Far East. I would normally 'cut out the middle man' on something like this and try to get myself a deal directly with the banks, but I am now sold on the broker concept and wouldn't hesitate to use Clifton Private Finance again. There were a number of complicating factors such as being an expat, the stamp duty holiday, the sheer amount I wanted to borrow and the fact I wanted it all wrapped up before the Stamp Duty holiday ended. It is clear to me now that the relationship that brokers have managed to foster with their banks means they can simply pull levers and make stuff happen that us ordinary folk cannot. Put simply, they are worth every penny, will take most of the stress out of the lending process, and seem to have access to deals that you just won't find on the internet. Thank you George and Jan for all your hard work!

Luther was excellent. Very clear in his advice and explanations of products and was able to move things on very quickly when we ran into difficulties with the estate agents. Without a doubt I would recommend Luther to all friends, family and colleagues. Luther was a joy to deal with and took a lot of the stress out of a troublesome transaction, from my end. I would view Luther as real asset to Clifton Private Finance Ltd.

The team at Clifton Private Finance has been outstanding, not only in helping me to obtain a mortgage on a slightly unusual home, but also in continuing to provide support and liaise with the lender and solicitors through to completion. Thank you for making the process of buying my first home much easier.

Sam O'Neill, and the new lender he identified for me, worked tirelessly together using my time constraints, to make sure my mortgage application was completed on time. They are a brilliant company to work with, fast, efficient, open and transparent from the very beginning, and turned a seemingly impossible situation into a viable one. Sam was brilliant throughout the whole process and I would highly recommend him, and his colleague Helen, to anyone without hesitation, I cannot speak highly enough about them.

I was incredibly lucky to find Clifton Private Finance after a search on line as their service has been more than exemplary. My point of contact was Sam 0’Neill and he was happy to help at every stage during the application of the bridging loan, making a stressful process much easier to deal with. He was always available by phone or email and gave prompt answers to queries I had as well as always getting back to me when he said he would. That to me is excellent customer service and I cannot thank him personally or the company enough for the support they have given me.

Adam cannot thank you enough for all your support throughout this arrangement. You have gone more than the extra mile to support us. Without you we would not have got our dream retirement home. You have been most professional and personable. Liz and I would be more than happy if you wanted to use us a reference with respect to any future clients.

You have certainly shown me that you do everything for your clients, including tolerating their excessive emails and questions for updates. I have been kept in the loop, from yourself, about why the delays were occurring (Nationwide, post etc) which I would like to highlight that I really appreciated. I certainly will be able to recommend you to others as and when the need arises.

I recently contacted Clifton Private Finance after a Google search for bridging finance providers and was immediately struck by their efficiency and support. Forms were emailed over almost immediately and the necessary finance was arranged within a few days. None of the other companies I contacted came close to their professionalism, and the quote that I eventually received was impressive. Thank you Adam, your help has enabled us to reserve the house that we wanted and I certainly recommend you to others.

Absolutely brilliant. The service was first class, got everything sorted efficiently and were always friendly. Any fees were negligible compared to the service offered. Robert was particularly outstanding.

My advisor, Robert, was very helpful in finding the mortgage to suit me. He kept me up to date throughout the process and dealt with any issues when they arose.
