Descrição do livro

A clear, practical, step-by-step guide for anyone responsible for settling a loved one’s estate in South Carolina.

Losing someone you love is hard enough — navigating the legal process that follows shouldn’t be overwhelming. The Personal Representative’s Roadmap is a comprehensive, plain-English resource written by experienced South Carolina probate attorneys Chasity G. Stratton, Esq. and Talmadge C. Reynolds, Esq. With decades of experience helping grieving families statewide, they break down what probate really involves, what to expect, and how to avoid the most common mistakes that lead to delays, disputes, or personal liability.

Whether you’ve been named in a Will or suddenly find yourself managing an estate without one, this book provides the clarity and confidence you need to move forward.

Inside, you’ll learn:
  • What probate is—and isn’t
    Understand how South Carolina probate works, which assets require court involvement, and how long the process typically takes.

  • How to open an estate the right way
    Step-by-step instructions for filing in the correct county, required documents, and crucial early deadlines.

  • When to hire an attorney
    Learn how to determine whether your estate truly needs professional help and how to choose the right lawyer for your situation.

  • How to complete the Inventory and manage the Creditors’ Period
    Avoid the costly mistakes that often occur during the most technical stages of probate.

  • What to do when the estate isn’t simple
    Guidance for challenging situations like disabled heirs, minors, real estate sales without authority, property in multiple states, or opening an estate decades after death.

  • Essential tax responsibilities
    Clear explanations of final returns, estate income tax, step-up in basis, retirement accounts, and exemption elections.

  • How to close the estate correctly
    Understand the final accounting, distribution forms, releases, and when hearings are required.

  • The Top 10 Mistakes Personal Representatives Make
    And, more importantly—how to avoid them.

Who this book is for:
  • Newly appointed Personal Representatives (Executors)

  • Family members trying to understand probate

  • Anyone dealing with an estate—simple or complex

  • Professionals seeking a practical overview of South Carolina probate

Accessible, empathetic, and grounded in real-world experience, The Personal Representative’s Roadmap is the guide every South Carolina family wishes they had when probate begins.
