Bill Summary

Amend The South Carolina Code Of Laws By Amending Section 12-37-3150, Relating To Determining When An Assessable Transfer Of Interest Occurs, So As To Exclude Transfers Made Amongst Related Descendants Of The Heirs' Property.

AI Summary

This bill amends South Carolina law to exclude certain transfers of property from being considered "assessable transfers of interest," which typically trigger taxes or fees. Specifically, it clarifies that when family members who are related descendants and have a legal claim to "heirs' property" – meaning property inherited by multiple people without a clear division of ownership – transfer their ownership interests among themselves, this will not be counted as a taxable event, provided both the person giving and the person receiving the interest already owned a part of that property before the transfer.
