South Carolina Last Will and Testament Form

A South Carolina last will and testament provides a way to make legally enforceable a person’s preferences for what will happen to their property after they die. Without a will, a person’s estate may be caught up in disputes, or their property may be slower to transfer. The person who creates the will is called the testator, and a modification to an existing will is called a codicil.

Laws – Title 62 (South Carolina Probate Code)

Signing Requirements (§62-2-502) – Wills must be in writing and signed by the testator. At least two witnesses must observe the testator signing and then sign themselves.
