Do I have to go through probate to sell an inherited Folly Beach home?

Selling an inherited Folly Beach home usually requires the estate to go through probate first, so a personal representative has the legal authority to sign a listing agreement and a contract of sale. Some estates can move faster if the will grants that authority early or a small-estate procedure applies, which an estate attorney can confirm. Brian Beatty coordinates timing with the estate's attorney so a Folly Beach listing does not stall waiting on paperwork.
