The South Carolina Notice of Confiscation Hearing is a legal process used by the state of South Carolina to take possession of property that was improperly acquired through criminal activity. This process is used when property has been obtained through illegal activities such as fraud, theft, or drug trafficking, and the state is seeking to recover the illegally obtained property. There are two types of South Carolina Notice of Confiscation Hearings. The first is an Order of Confiscation Hearing, which is used to determine if the property is eligible for confiscation. The second is a Notice of Disposal Hearing, which is used to determine how the confiscated property will be disposed of. Both hearings are held in a courtroom before a judge and require the property owner to present their case.
