Probate

When you have lost a loved one, the probate process may be confusing and time consuming. We work with clients to determine how much or how little work they will take on as personal representative of the decedent's estate. Depending on your needs and wishes, we can guide you through the probate process and prepare key documents at your request or perform the bulk of the labor. We are dedicated to providing professional, and friendly assistance that ensures that we deal with your loved one's estate efficiently and sensitively.

We probate estates in Charleston, Dorchester, Berkeley, and Colleton County and work with or associate counsel to perform ancillary administration in other counties or states if necessary. For a short overview of the probate process in South Carolina, read information provided by the Charleston County Probate Court.

Our initial consultation is free. We would be more than happy to review the status of your loved one's estate and determine how best to assist you.

If it is imperative to begin the probate process as soon as possible, please bring the original will, if one exists, and the death certificate to your appointment as they will be necessary to open the estate.
