Probate in South Carolina for out of state Representative of Estate
probate attorney South Carolina Aug 7, 2026
Location: South Carolina Hi - My mother recently passed in South Carolina. My older brother and I were named 50/50 heirs in her will (Home with mortgage and bank accounts). I was named the preferred representive of the estate in the will. I have filed the will and deed with the local county court. I live out of state. My brother and I will be in full agreement that the estate will be split 50/50. He is incarcerated if that matters. I can set up an appointment with the judge, for when I am back in SC for other business, and a family member has agreed to by MY personal reprentative in the state of SC. My question: Will it be too difficult/time consuming for me to care for this without an attorney? Or is this a situation where an attorney is a no-brainer?
