Questions answered? Let's get started!
In South Carolina, title to a decedent's real property devolves at death to the decedent's heirs (intestate estates) and devisees (testate estates) (S.C. Code 62-3-101). Though title passes by operation of law, the estate is still subject to administration in probate. Probate is the legal process of settling the decedent's estate and distributing assets to those entitled to receive it. A PR may not make distribution of the estate without first obtaining permission from the court.
The personal representative (PR) of the estate executes a deed of distribution following an order for distribution from the court to distribute real property from a decedent's estate. The deed of distribution (Form 400ES) evidences the legal succession of title of the decedent's interest in real property and releases the PR's powers over the subject property.
The deed, given under 62-3-907, 62-3-908 is "conclusive evidence that the distributee has succeeded to the interest of the estate...against all persons interested in the estate" (62-3-908).
Apart from meeting all state and local standards for documents affecting title to real property, the deed of distribution must identify the reason for the transfer (i.e., a will, laws of intestacy, a family agreement, disclaimer, or order), and name each beneficiary and the percent of the decedent's interest in the subject property he or she is inheriting.
The deed of distribution is signed by the acting PR in the presence of a notary public and two witnesses before recording in the Register of Deeds' office of the county where the subject property is situated. A certified copy should be delivered to the probate court.
Consult a lawyer with questions regarding probate and deeds of distribution in South Carolina, as each situation is unique.

This was the easiest, quickest, most understandable way I've seen yet to retrieve deeds from various counties. The government websites are "clunky" and each one seems different than the other. I like this service and will use them again in the future. NANCY
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

5stars for prompt and fast! Website needs work. Hard to navigate for first time users and hard to find where to pay. Emails are more clear than the "message center". Not sure what happened to my other documents, lol
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Why is Dade County not listed for the Lady Bird Deed?
Because on November 13, 1997, voters changed the name of the county from Dade to Miami-Dade.

Needed a Limited Power of Attorney form for a real estate transaction in another state. Proper form came up immediately and was fairly easy to complete. I think the sample completed form should have been more completely explained in layman's language instead of legalese (such as person granting permission instead of grantor or something like your name and address and the person who will be signing on your behalf) but since the form was one price no matter how many ways it was printed out, it was fine. I just filled it out several ways and had it notarized and sent it to my sister. Whichever combination is appropriate she and the lawyer will have. I found the site easy to navigate
