Welcome to J.G. Banks Institute!

or many people, probate means dealing with a will and an estate after someone we know has passed away. This is often a long, drawn-out process for those involved, as they must wait for the creditors and lawyers to take their piece of the hard-earned finances and personal property the deceased has left behind. But it doesn’t have to be this way…

That’s where J.G. Banks’ Secrets of Probate Profits graduates come in. As probate investors, our graduates can help the heirs of estates get their money quickly, with reduced stress and pain. Our graduates are trained to use three main strategies to invest in probate — real estate, personal property, and inheritance brokering.

ne of the single-most profitable strategies to invest in is real estate. Real estate has often been heralded as the key factor in becoming a millionaire. You may have even heard that more than 90 percent of today’s millionaires have made their money through real estate.

We all know the real estate market is extremely hot right now, however, a serious issue with real estate investing is that the potential of making huge returns in real estate has become such a common known fact that the competition in the market has increased exponentially during the past few years.

Investors have begun flooding the courthouse steps for foreclosure sales and the ability for everyday people to profit from these deals is becoming increasingly difficult.

eal estate in probate isn’t listed in the multiple listing services. In fact, the exposure of the house to the general public is minimal — which means limited competition! Finding property in probate can be a breeze — if you know where to look! The J.G. Banks Institute can show you how and where to find these lucrative investment properties for 30 percent or more below fair market value!

nvesting in personal property can be an exciting and enjoyable experience — a hunt for treasure in the most unlikely places. Most heirs have no interest in spending the time and digging up old memories by sifting through their loved one’s personal belongings. They usually have a few items they know they would like to keep, but other than that, it just becomes a hassle to go through every single nook and cranny searching for valuables.

Here’s where you, as a probate investor in personal property, can come in. You’re the detective here. It’s your job to search the property and look for clues as to what might be valuable in the house. Some will be obvious… any appliances, televisions, furniture. Others might not be as obvious, such as antiques or collectibles.

You never know what you may find hidden in plain sight on someone’s dresser. The one thing to keep in mind in treasure hunting is to never discount anything as junk unless you are absolutely sure the item is worthless.

Maybe you don’t want to get involved in purchasing a property and dealing with clean up or searching through hundreds of items to find hidden treasure. If so, then inheritance brokering can be a great way to earn some cash while staying far away from sorting through someone’s personal items. Inheritance brokering is simply the process of helping a beneficiary receive part of their inheritance now in cash up front rather than having them wait for the estate to be settled in probate court.

As an Inheritance Broker, your job is to find heirs who would be interested in receiving part of their inheritance now, and then match them up with a funding source that can provide the heirs with the necessary funds. Heirs can receive up to 50 percent of their inheritance from a funding source, excluding a discount that the funding source will take, as well as your fee for putting the deal together.

The best part is that, as part of your training, you will receive a listing of funding sources that specialize in inheritance deals — so all you have to do is find someone in need and then match them with a funding source!
