The South Carolina Petition for Sale of Real Property is a legal document used by a property owner to petition the court for the sale of their real estate. It allows the owner to request that the court authorize the sale of their property and appoint a special commissioner to oversee the sale process. This document is typically used when the owner is unable to successfully negotiate a sale with a potential buyer, or when the owner is in need of funds quickly. There are two types of South Carolina Petition for Sale of Real Property: a voluntary sale and a judicial sale. A voluntary sale is initiated by the property owner and requires the approval of the court. A judicial sale is initiated by creditors or judicially appointed representatives and requires the approval of the court. In both cases, the court will review the petition and set a date for a public hearing to consider the petition.
