How Does South Carolina Probate Process Work, and How Can People Avoid Complications?

Probate is the legal transfer of assets from a deceased person’s name to living person(s) names. In South Carolina, probate is a paperwork process. If there is a Last Will & Testament, it would make it easier for the Executor or Personal Representative to distribute the deceased person’s assets accordingly. If there is no Will, the distribution will follow the intestacy (dying without a Will) laws of South Carolina. A Will can help make the probate process smoother. Probate does not require an attorney to be involved, but of course, having an attorney would be helpful when there are complex issues.
