Greenville County Probate Judge Debora Faulkner joins Mike to discuss how South Carolina probate laws work in divorce situations.
Does the law assume you want your ex-spouse to get anything upon your death?
If you are getting or have been divorced, have you changed all your documentation to accurately reflect what assets you would like to go to your ex-spouse, if any?
How does the law handle distributing assets if that documentation has not been changed?
They also answer listener questions about how probate law handles things like time shares, property in other jurisdictions, and unsettled estates.
