Divorce, a disputed estate, and no idea where to turn?

A client came to Level during an extremely difficult time. After more than 30 years of marriage, he was going through a divorce while also involved in a contentious probate case as a residuary beneficiary of an estate worth over £1.5 million. Probate was expected to take six to twelve months. But in the meantime, he urgently needed a substantial loan to cover legal and living costs pending the outcome of both cases.

He wasn’t very familiar with technology and found the legal processes confusing and overwhelming. Level stepped in with a hands-on, client-first approach. The underwriting team went above and beyond, acting as a go-between for both the administration firm and the divorce solicitors, helping to coordinate communication and reduce potential friction. By managing these sensitivities, Level was able to structure the advance loan around his entitlement as a residuary beneficiary. Throughout the process, Level guided him step by step, providing clarity and reassurance throughout the ordeal.

The funding allowed him to access expert legal representation and see his cases through to a successful conclusion, and, as a result, the client was genuinely delighted with the service Level provided.

What started out as “an absolutely horrendous situation” transformed into a sense of relief and empowerment, giving him the means to navigate his legal matters with confidence.

Level’s proactive, client-focused approach made a real difference, demonstrating how going beyond standard underwriting practices can help clients overcome even the most complex legal challenges.
