South Carolina Notice to Creditors is a document that must be filed when a person dies, and they have debts that remain unpaid. This document must be filed with the South Carolina Probate Court in order for the creditors to be made aware of the deceased’s debts, so they can make a claim against the estate. There are two types of South Carolina Notice to Creditors: Form SC-9 and Form SC-9A. Form SC-9 is used when a Personal Representative has been appointed, and Form SC-9A is used when a Personal Representative has not been appointed. Both forms must be published for three consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where the deceased's estate is being administered. The Notice to Creditors must also be sent to the deceased's known creditors. This document must be completed and filed with the Probate Court in order for creditors to be able to make a claim against the deceased's estate.
