One way to avoid probate in South Carolina is by using a transfer-on-death (TOD) deed for real estate. This allows the property to be transferred to the beneficiary upon the owners death, bypassing the probate process.
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.
A petition for determination of heirs is a legal process initiated when an estate hasnt been probated within the stipulated 10-year period in South Carolina. It seeks to legally recognize and determine the rightful heirs of a deceased individual, allowing for the titling of assets without Distribution.
A: In South Carolina, the heirs of a descendant can include a variety of individuals, such as: The spouse of the deceased. Their biological and adopted children. The descendants grandchildren.
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.
