Probate Filing Fees
Specific fee amounts are not available for this county. Greenville County Probate Court publishes a fee schedule with estate and conservatorship court-cost tiers, copy fees, and certified copy fees. The fee PDF still references a small-estate affidavit bracket under $25,000, while the current South Carolina small-estate threshold in this rollout is $45,000, so verify small-estate filing fees directly before quoting a total.
