Specifics can vary by jurisdiction, but typically, a spouse inherits first, followed by children if there is no spouse. Establishing next of kin can also influence medical decisions and other responsibilities if a person becomes incapacitated.
If you die with a spouse and no children, your spouse inherits your entire estate. If you have both a spouse and children, your spouse receives half of your estate, and your children share the other half. These South Carolina inheritance laws are designed to balance interests fairly between spouses and descendants.
Probate in South Carolina An estate typically goes through probate if it includes solely owned assets worth more than $25,000, especially real estate, and lacks mechanisms like beneficiary designations or joint ownership to transfer them outside of probate.
In the absence of a spouse, children, or grandchildren, the estate goes to the parents. However, if no parents survive, then the siblings of the decedent (brothers and sisters) get the property. If no living relatives exist, the state of South Carolina will ultimately inherit the property.
