Estate Administration in South Carolina: Settling Affairs with Ease

What Is Estate Administration?

Estate administration is the process of managing and distributing a person’s assets after they pass away. In South Carolina, this often involves going through probate court, paying debts and taxes, and ensuring heirs receive what they are entitled to.

I provide comprehensive estate administration services for families across South Carolina, guiding Personal Representatives and beneficiaries through each stage with clarity and compassion.

Responsibilities of a Personal Representative or Administrator

• Locating and inventorying assets

• Paying final debts and taxes

• Notifying creditors and beneficiaries

• Distributing property in accordance with the will or state law

These tasks can be time-consuming and legally complex, especially while grieving. That’s why many families turn to an estate attorney for help.

How Living Trusts Simplify the Process

If the deceased created a living trust, much of the estate may transfer outside of probate. This can save beneficiaries significant time and cost. I assist both personal representatives and trustees, ensuring smooth transitions regardless of the estate’s structure.

Why Legal Guidance Matters

Without professional help, families may face delays, disputes, or even litigation. My role is to streamline the process, reduce conflict, and ensure every legal requirement is met.
