Where to start: closing in South Carolina
A customary closing role does not establish whether an attorney is required for your sale. Confirm who may handle settlement and which tasks need legal advice with a licensed local professional. The practical points to discuss:
- A South Carolina attorney must supervise the closing.
- The state deed recording fee is a transfer tax in all but name, paid by the seller.
- The residential property condition disclosure statement is required by statute.
- Non-resident sellers face state withholding on the proceeds unless an exemption applies.

Confirm the requirements for settlement, document preparation and legal advice with a licensed local professional before signing. Ask who represents your interests and review the proposed fees.

Is there a transfer tax when I sell a house in South Carolina?
