WHAT'S INCLUDED IN ESTATE PLANNING & PROBATE
Estate Planning & Probate Services We Offer
Last Will & Testament Drafting
Without a valid will in South Carolina, the state decides who inherits your property and who raises your children. Cornerstone Law Group drafts clear, legally enforceable wills tailored to your family's specific circumstances in Charleston and the Lowcountry.
Revocable Living Trust Planning
Probate in Charleston County can tie up real estate and financial accounts for months while court fees and attorney costs reduce what your family actually receives. A revocable living trust transfers assets directly to your beneficiaries, bypassing that process entirely and keeping your estate plan private.
Probate Administration & Estate Settlement
Serving as executor for a loved one's estate in Charleston County means navigating court filings, creditor notices, tax obligations, and property transfers - often while grieving. Cornerstone Law Group handles every legal step so families can focus on what matters most during a difficult time.
About Our Estate Planning & Probate Services in Charleston
Many Charleston-area families own properties that have appreciated significantly due to the Lowcountry's coastal demand, making proactive estate planning critical for minimizing tax exposure and avoiding lengthy probate in Charleston County Probate Court. Heirs' property issues - where undivided land has passed informally through generations without clear title - remain particularly common in rural Charleston County and surrounding Sea Islands communities. Cornerstone Law Group drafts revocable living trusts, advance directives, durable powers of attorney, and guides executors through the formal South Carolina probate process.
