CASE NUMBER:
IN THE MATTER OF:
(Decedent)

THIS ADDENDUM MUST BE FILED AND SERVED ON THE RESPONDENT(S) ALONG WITH THE RELATED SUMMONS AND PETITION in order to address the issue of bonding in an Order binding all the parties.

The allegations in the foregoing Petition (Form 300 ES) are incorporated herein as if fully set out verbatim.

The Petitioner is informed and believes that the proposed Personal Representative (s) should serve WITHOUT BOND for the following reasons: ( CHECK ALL THAT APPLY)

The proposed Personal Representative has no criminal record, is credit worthy and understands his/her responsibilities as a fiduciary. He/She understands he/she may be personally liable to any interested person for maladministration, negligence, or intentional misconduct in the performance of his/her duties;

The proposed Personal Representative is an attorney in good standing with the S.C. Bar;

The gross value of the estate is less than $20,000.00, including the real estate, the assets are sufficient to pay estate claims, and the proposed Personal Representative agrees to be personally liable to any interested person for any negligence or intentional misconduct. (Form 340 ES Statement of Value and Income for Purposes of Bond must be attached if this option is selected);

The estate has no assets other than real estate. Restricted Fiduciary Letters are requested in lieu of bond.

The estate has no assets other than the right to commence a legal action on behalf of the decedent and/or the	decedent’s statutory heirs. If a recovery is made on behalf of the estate, the proposed Personal Representative and	his/her Attorney by their signatures below, agree that no estate funds will be accessible to the proposed Personal	Representative, if appointed. Attorney agrees to deposit estate funds directly into his/her trust account and hold said

funds until further court order.

The estate has no assets or minimal assets such that the purchase of a bond is not justified at this time. The appointment of a Personal Representative is requested in order to determine if other estate assets exist or if there are causes of action to assert on behalf of the estate. (Form 340 ES Statement of Value and Income for Purposes of Bond must be attached if this option is selected).

The proposed Personal Representative is a state agency, bank or trust company.

The Decedent’s Original Will or Will Copy nominates the proposed Personal Representative as set forth in the

Petition and directs that he/she serve without bond.
