Probate Filing Fees

Greenville County Probate Court publishes a fee schedule with estate and conservatorship court-cost tiers, copy fees, and certified copy fees. The fee PDF still references a small-estate affidavit bracket under $25,000, while the current South Carolina small-estate threshold in this rollout is $45,000, so verify small-estate filing fees directly before quoting a total.

Required Documents

  • Death certificate

    Verify whether the county requires a certified copy or accepts another form for the selected filing.

  • Original will and codicils

    Original will handling depends on whether a will exists and the selected probate path.

  • South Carolina probate court form for the selected proceeding

    Use the current South Carolina Judicial Branch probate forms and confirm county filing instructions.
