If you don't have a will when you die in South Carolina, "essentially you're letting the state legislature decide what happens to your property and who will administer it," says former Greenville County Probate Judge Diane Smock. She talks with Jessica Ferguson of Turner Padget about wills, estates, and advance directives.
You'll learn:
- Why it's so important to have a will, health care power of attorney, and power of attorney - even if you don't have a lot of wealth
- How not having a will can needlessly tie up your home and property from your heirs, especially your children Why having a will and advance directives in place is a gift you give your family after you die, preventing stress and disagreements during an emotional time
- That probate laws are state-specific, so you need your will reviewed if you live in SC but had it created in another state
- How to get a will drawn up if you make under 200% of poverty
- And much more!
