Form Et 101 PDF Details

In the State of South Carolina, the handling of a non-resident decedent's estate involves specific procedures that are outlined in the ET-101 form, issued by the Department of Revenue. This Preliminary Estate Tax Notice must be filed with the local Probate Judge by the personal representative or the individual in possession of the decedent's property. Its primary purpose is to notify regarding the estate's tax liabilities in South Carolina, especially focusing on real and/or tangible personal property located within the state. Essential details required by the form include information about the decedent, such as name, social security number, date and place of death, citizenship, residency at the time of death, and approximate values of various classes of property within the gross estate. Furthermore, it mandates an affidavit by the personal representative affirming a diligent search for the decedent's property and attesting to the truthfulness and completeness of the return. For non-resident decedents, the form also stipulates the conditions under which the estate would be liable for a non-resident South Carolina Estate Tax Return (Form SC706C), depending on the specific exemption applicable at the date of death. This document is crucial for both compliance with state tax obligations and the smooth administration of the estate, emphasizing the importance of accurate and timely filing.

If the property is in several counties, file in the county in which the greater part of the property is located, within 90 days after date of death. When an ancillary administration is commenced, the notice must accompany the Petition for Letters of Ancillary Administration.

Persons required to file notice - The duly qualified personal representative, or any person in actual or constructive possession of property included in the statutory gross estate, must file this notice as follows: (1) The personal representative, qualified under an appointment by a court, must file the notice unless at the time of his qualification the notice has already been filed; (2) Any person in actual or constructive possession of property included in the statutory gross estate, must file the notice unless a personal representative qualifies within 3 months after the decedent's death. Persons in actual or constructive possession of such property include custodians, fiduciaries, transferees, joint owners, partners, distributees, debtors, agents, factors, brokers, bankers, safe deposit companies, and warehouse companies.

Signature - The signature of one personal representative is sufficient. If this form is filed by a person other than the personal representative, such person must sign this form and should use a descriptive title such as stated in the last sentence of the above paragraph.

Gross estate - The gross estate, as defined in Section 2031

(a)of the Internal Revenue Code adopted by reference for South Carolina estate tax purposes comprises property of the decedent wherever situated and includes:

1.Property in which the decedent, at the time of his death, has any beneficial interest.

2.Interest of surviving spouse, as dower, curtesy, or estate in lieu thereof.

3.Property transferred by the decedent during his life, by trust or otherwise (other than by bona fide sale for an adequate and full consideration in money or money's worth) as follows: (1) Transfers intended to take effect in possession or enjoyment at or after the decedent's death; (2) Transfers under which the decedent reserved or retained (in whole or in part) the use, possession, rents, or other income or enjoyment of the transferred property, for his life, or for a period not ascertainable without reference to his death, or for a period of such duration as to evidence an intention that it should extend to his death; (3) Transfers under which the decedent retained the right, either alone or in conjunction with another person or persons, to designate who should possess or enjoy the property or the income therefrom; and (4) Transfers under which the enjoyment of the transferred property was subject at decedent's death to a change through the exercise, either by the decedent alone or in conjunction with another person or persons, of a power to alter, amend, revoke or terminate.
