What documents are typically included in an estate plan in South Carolina?

Does South Carolina have an estate tax or inheritance tax?
South Carolina does not have a state estate tax or inheritance tax as of 2025. This means your estate may only be subject to the federal estate tax if it exceeds the federal exemption amount. This can make estate planning simpler for many Hilton Head Island residents.
How long does probate take in South Carolina?
Probate in South Carolina typically takes six months to one year for simple estates. The process involves filing the will with the Beaufort County Probate Court, notifying creditors, and distributing assets.
