Hampton County Probate Court Guide

South Carolina probate estate filing fees are statutory and uniform statewide under S.C. Code 8-21-770(B): a minimum $25 for estates under $5,000, rising by gross probate estate value to $45 ($5,000-$19,999), $67.50 ($20,000-$59,999), and $95 ($60,000-$99,999); estates of $100,000-$599,999 add 0.15% of the value over $100,000, and estates of $600,000 or more add 0.25% of the value over $600,000. The fee is assessed on the gross value shown on the inventory and appraisement. The Hampton Probate Court page lists an informal-estate filing fee of $25 plus the value of the estate and a formal-proceeding filing fee of $150 plus any additional court costs or fees.
