The South Carolina Affidavit of Personal Representative is a legal document used to appoint an individual to administer the estate of a deceased person. This document is used to certify that the person appointed as the personal representative has the legal authority to act on behalf of the deceased person's estate. It is signed by the personal representative in the presence of a notary public and then filed with the probate court. There are two types of South Carolina Affidavit of Personal Representative: an Assets Affidavit, and a Liabilities Affidavit. The Assets Affidavit is used to list and describe the deceased person's assets, including real estate, personal property, and bank accounts. The Liabilities Affidavit is used to list and describe the deceased person's liabilities, including debts, taxes, and other obligations. Both documents must be completed and filed with the probate court in order for the personal representative to be legally appointed.
