Does a will have to be recorded in sc?

Answer 1

In South Carolina, a will does not need to be recorded while the testator is alive. However, it must be filed with the probate court after the testator's death to initiate the probate process. Recording the will with the court ensures that it is legally recognized and can be enforced according to the testator's wishes. It's advisable for individuals to keep their wills in a safe place and inform relevant parties about its location.
