South Carolina deed of trust assigns a borrower’s real property title to a trustee while the borrower repays a loan. In the event of a default, the deed will authorize the trustee to begin legal proceedings for foreclosing the property.

Trust deeds will be filed with the Register of Deeds or Clerk of Court in the county where the property is located.[1] Formatting requirements are set at the county level. Deeds of trust in South Carolina must be witnessed and notarized; the notary may act as a witness.[2]

Foreclosure Process

South Carolina uses a judicial foreclosure system, meaning the lender must file a lawsuit and receive a court order in order to foreclose on the property.
