[SC] What legal authority do I need to speak with doctors for my brother who is in rehab after a heart attack?

Hello. I have a brother that had a heart attack and is now in a rehab facility. In this process of trying to file for Long Term Care as well as needing medical information, I have been asked if I have a Power of Attorney or Guardianship for him. I only have a Medical Power of Attorney in which my understanding is my brother has to be incapacitated in order to be valid. Could you please tell me what form is needed so that my wife and I will be able to talk to insurance companies and physicians, etc.? Thank you!

[SC] Does my brother’s estate have to go through probate if he died without a will? My husband and I also need help with our will.

Ok — so I tried to do my own will. It's just my husband and I. We currently have a condo that we live in that is paid off. And I have a very small business. I work part time but my husband is retired and collects a pension. I know we need some kind of will. Any suggestions? My brother died without a will. He leaves behind a wife and 5 grown kids. They have a home which they are still paying for. He has a business in his name — they file a 1120-S. It's an LLC. He leaves behind a car they are still paying for. Also, because he had insurance with the cruise ship, they are sending checks to the family payable to the order of his estate. Do we need to go to probate for this? Can we just open a bank account with a new tax ID # to make the deposits and reimburse family members that paid money to get him back to the states? My brother is an SC resident.

[SC] Does a home pass automatically to a surviving spouse?

I understand that in South Carolina, when a spouse passes away, the title to the home is automatically transferred to the surviving spouse. What form is used for this? Also, I am a small-estate judgment in probate court. Should the home be listed under that form as a real estate holding for my deceased wife?

[SC] My sister fell ill. Is notary required for POA if she is unable to leave the hospital?

My sister has taken suddenly ill and is in the hospital and may not get better. She has no husband or children and I (her brother) am her only living relative. She has substantial assets including three homes and a sizable savings and investments. She is still conscious, but is unlikely to be able to leave the hospital to have a notary sign the document that I have created for her with eForms giving me POA. Is having a notary necessary, or will witnesses do?
