Introduction
I’ll address the question of WHY you have to go through probate when someone passes away in a future post. For today, I would just like to introduce myself and explain why I’ve chosen to blog about an otherwise uninteresting and often annoying area of the law.
My name is Tiffany Provence, an attorney living and practicing outside of Charleston, S.C. in Summerville. And, while I would love to blog about fashion, technology or exotic travel, I have little experience or knowledge in anything that exciting. However, after more than 10 years as a Probate Judge for Dorchester County, S.C., I have learned that there is a severe shortage of information on this topic for both the public and attorneys who need a primer on this area of the law.
And so, why would you need to know anything about probate law? Perhaps a family member has recently passed away – this is your court. Are you caring for a loved one and needing more information about making decisions on their behalf? Again, this is your court. Wanting to get married in South Carolina? Yep, they do that too. Want to get divorced? Well, that’s another court entirely.
In this blog, I hope to provide you with basic information on the myriad of issues that are raised in this area of the law and ensure you know when you need to seek legal assistance.
