In South Carolina, the following assets are subject to probate: Property only held in the deceaseds name. Any real estate that the decedent held as a tenant in common. The deceaseds interest in an LLC, corporation or a partnership.
Non-probate assets are those that do not require a courts involvement during the probate process, allowing for a smoother and quicker transfer to beneficiaries. These assets can include life insurance policies, retirement accounts, and properties held in joint tenancy, among others.
The probate process consists of a series of steps: Deliver the will at death. Personal representative is appointed. Notice to intestate heirs is sent. Inventory and appraisement of the estate. Final accounting. Disbursements. Close the estate.
When a personal representative of an estate is undertaking an action pertaining to the estate that he feels may result in personal liability to him if the outcome is not as planned, the personal representative may file a Petition for Instructions from the court seeking approval for his actions.
These necessities, among others, are all part of the following documentation: Certificate of filing a will. Petition of probate. Notice to creditors. Bonds or waiver of bonds. Interested persons list. Inventory and appraisal. Accounting that is ongoing and annual. Beneficiary notices.
