Probate Attorney Conway SC — Guiding You Through the Process

What Probate Looks Like in Horry & Georgetown County

Compassionate Guidance During a Difficult Time

Probate is the legal process of settling an estate in South Carolina—validating the will, appointing a Personal Representative, inventorying assets, paying valid debts, and distributing what remains to heirs. If your loved one lived in Conway, matters are handled through the Horry County Probate Court; for Georgetown residents, the Georgetown County Probate Court oversees the case. Many concerns can be reduced with thoughtful estate planning, but when a loss occurs, Long Law Firm provides clear direction from the first filing to the final accounting.
