New clients often say that they do not have an estate plan.
Most people are surprised to learn that they actually do have a plan.
In the absence of legal planning otherwise, their estate will be distributed after death according to South Carolina's laws of intestacy.
Of course, this may not be the plan they would have chosen.

Probate and estate administration are the processes through which estate assets are transferred after death.
When probate avoidance planning has not been implemented prior to death, the state will require a probate court proceeding if the deceased was a resident or owned assets in the state.
Probate can be supervised or unsupervised.
In an unsupervised probate, the appointed estate administrator manages assets, pays any debts, files required tax returns and various court documents, and distributes the estate assets.
