Estate route

Where Probate May Start After a Milton Shealy-Area Death

Probate depends on the deceased person’s legal residence, property and county. Milton Shealy Funeral Home does not appoint a personal representative, open an estate or issue probate authority.

Lexington County

Lexington County Probate Court handles estate administration and related probate matters. Its estate guidance references death-certificate documentation and Probate Court filing routes.

Lexington Estate Administration

Saluda County

Saluda County Probate Court requires appointments for estate services. Its probate page lists the courthouse location at 100 East Church Street, Suite 4, Saluda, SC 29138.

Saluda Probate Court

Aiken County

Aiken County Probate Court administers estates of decedents and asks people to call the Probate Court to make an appointment with one of its clerks.

Aiken County Estates
Do not use an obituary as estate authority. Banks, title companies, probate offices and benefit programs normally require court authority or certified documents, not just a memorial page.
