Former Probate Judge. Courthouse Insiders. Inheritance Guidance for Charleston County.

When a loved one passes, settling the estate isn’t always straightforward. At PMC Law Firm, we bring courthouse-level familiarity to every inheritance matter we handle. Founding partner Tiffany Provence served as a South Carolina Probate Judge. David Causey clerked directly inside the probate court system. Gail Elmore brings experience as a former estate clerk. That combination, drawn from inside Charleston County Probate Court itself, isn’t something most inheritance law firms can offer.

We serve clients throughout North Charleston and Charleston County on the full range of inheritance and estate matters. With over 40 years of combined courthouse experience and more than a century of combined legal experience across our attorneys, we’re prepared to move quickly and accurately on your behalf.

What Sets PMC Law Firm Apart for Inheritance Cases

Tiffany Provence isn’t just a probate attorney. She’s a former South Carolina Probate Judge and one of the youngest female judges in the state’s history. That background shapes how we approach every inheritance matter, from asset distribution questions to contested will proceedings. She holds an Avvo 10.0 rating and has been named to the SC Bar Pro Bono Honor Roll.

Every client at PMC Law Firm is assigned a dedicated legal team, not routed to a single attorney working alone. That team model means your inheritance matter gets multiple sets of eyes, including attorneys who have worked on both sides of the probate court process. The firm is also recognized by the National Trial Lawyers, reflecting the standard we hold ourselves to even outside the courtroom.

Inheritance Law Services We Handle in North Charleston

South Carolina inheritance matters span a wide range of legal needs. Our team handles both straightforward estate administration and complex inheritance disputes throughout the North Charleston area.

Estate Administration
We guide executors and beneficiaries through the asset distribution process, managing communication between all parties and keeping the estate on track through Charleston County Probate Court.

Will Contests & Inheritance Disputes
When the validity of a will is questioned or a trust is disputed, we represent both challengers and estate fiduciaries. This includes cases involving undue influence, improper execution, and accusations of trust mismanagement.

Intestate Heirship Determination
When someone dies without a will, South Carolina’s intestate succession statutes govern who inherits. We help rightful heirs establish and protect their claims under those rules.

Wills, Trusts & Powers of Attorney
We prepare last wills and testaments, revocable living trusts, special needs trusts, trust amendments, and powers of attorney that protect clients and their beneficiaries during their lifetime and after.

Blended & Non-Traditional Families
We assist families with complex structures, including blended families and second marriages, where inheritance rights may be disputed or ambiguous.

Conservatorship & Guardianship
When incapacity intersects with inheritance, we represent clients on all sides of conservatorship and guardianship proceedings tied to estate and inheritance matters.

Mediation
Not every inheritance dispute needs to go to court. We offer mediation as a path to resolving disagreements without extended litigation, preserving relationships and estate assets where possible.

One note worth knowing: South Carolina doesn’t impose a state inheritance tax or estate tax, which generally means heirs may receive transferred assets without a state-level deduction at transfer. Federal rules and estate-specific factors still apply, so speaking with an attorney about your particular situation is always worthwhile.
