Q: How can I find out who can do an inventory and appraisement for land in South Carolina?
I am doing probate for my nephews land and trailer in SC. Rather difficult to find who will do the inventory and appraisement as I live in Virginia. I have the form to file with the court. There is no one in SC to do this. Probate has already started. I've received letter of appointment. Notice has been put in paper to creditors. Heirs have been notified. Very little assets other than the land. My understanding is a lawyer can help with the inventory and appraisement.
A: If you are issued Letters of Administration, then you have the authority and legal duty to marshal up assets of the Estate yourself. If you do not, then you will probably be removed. Talk to a competent attorney as Probate may not be needed or someone else might need to be the Administrator.
