What is inside
- South Carolina small estate route. Personal property and cash accounts worth $25,000 or less net of liens. It can't be used to distribute real estate; titled property such as cars and boats counts. Real estate in the person's name alone takes the estate out of this procedure. 30 days. At least 30 days after the death (the brochure also says 31 days in one place; ask the court). Signed before a notary. Sign and notarize the form where indicated. Through a court office. Filed with the county probate court, which issues an order. Form 420ES, Affidavit for Collection of Personal Property. A statewide probate court form; the county brochure explains it.
- How a South Carolina will had to be signed. Two witnesses, per the county probate court's FAQ.
- South Carolina estate ledger (Excel). Assets, debts, payments and distributions; it compares the countable assets with $25,000, dates day 30 after the death and flags real estate in the person's name alone, which rules the route out.
- First 30 days, tracker and letters. The first month in order with day 30 marked, a documents and accounts tracker, and plain letters to a bank, a utility and Social Security.
- Still to confirm in South Carolina. simplified court procedure: check Greenville County Probate Court: Small estate proceedings brochure (Form 420ES); self-proving affidavit, if the will is handwritten, a witness who inherits: check Probate's Office FAQ (Fairfield County, South Carolina, Probate Court).
