[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?
