​

• Copies for Abstractors-  Check our records at www.southcarolinaprobate.net/search/. If what you need isn't there, email the court.  afogle@calhouncounty.sc.gov . Our files are digital back to the year 1985. If you need a file before that year, you will need to make a trip to the court to make copies. It is always a great idea to give the court a call before you come if you know the file number that you will need.  That way we can have the file pulled for you, as our older records are off-site.
