Re: 2013 Probate Code Form Changes


ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER


Act No. 100 of 2013 substantially alters the Probate laws and procedures relating to estate administration, effective January 1, 2014.  Accordingly, it is necessary that certain uniform probate court forms be revised, deleted or created.  Therefore,

Pursuant to the provisions of S.C. Const. Art. V § 4, and upon recommendation of the Probate Court Judges Advisory Committee and the Probate Judges Association,

IT IS ORDERED that the attached list of eighty-six (86) revised and new Probate Court forms, incorporated by reference, are approved for use in the probate courts effective as of January 1, 2014.  Five (5) of the forms listed (300ES, 350ES LF, 350ES SF, 361ES, and 371ES) are mandated.  Mandated forms must include all language as provided on the approved forms.  All other uniform probate forms listed are designated as discretionary.  The 2014 revised forms supersede all previous versions of these forms.  Additionally, all current probate court forms relating to Estates and referenced with PC will be modified to reference ES.

These forms, with the exception of those noted for court use only, will be available on the South Carolina Judicial Department Website at www.sccourts.org located under the Probate Court Forms link.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
