If your goal is to avoid probate and protect your family (and you or the property is in South Carolina), this conversation is for you.

In this episode, we sit down with probate attorney Michelle Weil to break down how to avoid probate, what most people get wrong, and what steps you can take now to make things easier for your family later.

Michelle is a Summerville-based probate and estate planning attorney who has also worked inside the Charleston County Probate Court, giving her firsthand insight into how probate actually works and how it can be avoided.

• How to avoid probate and what actually works
• Whether probate is always required in South Carolina
• Why adding someone to a deed does NOT always avoid probate
• The most common mistakes families make when trying to avoid probate
• What happens when there is no clear plan in place
• What to do immediately after inheriting a home
• How long probate takes and why it can delay decisions
• How trusts can help you avoid probate and maintain privacy
