Purchasing Land in South Carolina

[Guillermo Kennedy]

Hello BPers!

I have a motivated seller interested in selling their(?) land in SC.  Potential seller has been paying taxes on land that belonged to a long deceased relative.  The issue is that the motivated seller is a heir of the deceased but does not have title to the land as it was never part of a will or deeded over to any of the deceased's heirs.  Does anyone know what needs to be done to get the property deeded over to the motivated seller and siblings so that we can pursue the purchase of this land?  Any information or guidance would be greatly appreciated!  I would love to help the potential seller as it appears that this has been an issue for them for quite some time.

Thanks!

@Guillermo Kennedy Like @John Underwood said, you'll need to have them contact the probate office and work through the process of having the property probated to the relative. If there are no other heirs or third parties making claims and this heir has been paying the bills, it shouldn't be too terribly complicated. It could require a probate attorney, but I would contact the probate office at the county and talk to them first.
