Estate Claim Notification

Columbia, SC: Important Notice to Creditors of Estates

Hey, Columbia! If you have any claims against certain estates in our community, it’s time to pay attention. There’s a new public notice making its rounds, and it’s crucial for those who might be involved.

According to the latest notice, all individuals—yes, that includes you!—who think they might have claims against the estates listed need to act quickly. The notice states that anyone with a claim must either deliver it in person or mail it to the personal representative for each estate. This must also be filed with the Probate Court of Richland County on a specific form, and you have only until eight months after the date of the notice’s first publication to do so. This is important because, if you miss that deadline, you could lose your right to make a claim altogether! Yikes!

How to File Your Claims

So, what do you need to include in your claim? Great question! The requirements are pretty straightforward. Each claim must be presented in a written format and should include:

  • Your Name and Address: Make sure to include your personal details—this identifies who the claim is from.
  • The Basis of Your Claim: This is where you explain why you believe you have a claim against the estate.
  • Amount Claimed: Specify how much you believe you are owed.
  • Date When Due: Mention when that amount was due to you.
  • Description of Any Security: If you have any security backing your claim, include its description.

Got all that? Good! Now let’s take a look at some of the estates mentioned in the notice.

Deadline – Don’t Miss It!

As a gentle reminder, the deadline for submitting your claims is going to be eight months after the first publication of the notice. This means the clock is ticking! For those filing, the probate court is located at P.O. Box 192, Columbia, SC 29202. Keep this information handy so you can get those claims submitted right.
