South Carolina Estate Planning Rules

Two witnesses
Probate Threshold
Estates under $25,000 may qualify for simplified procedures.
Specific Laws You Should Know
Summary Administration
For estates worth less than $25,000, SC offers a "Summary Administration" process that allows the estate to be settled without full probate proceedings.
