I am so sorry for your loss. I am assuming that you have a Will to be submitted to probate or you are wondering if the person who has it can linger without submitting same? In South Carolina it is illegal to keep a Will from the Court for more than 30 days. I would seek advice as soon as possible. Good luck.
