The Williamsburg County Courthouse was built in 1823 in downtown Kingstree. It has a few monuments located around it, along with ample parking. The exterior is one of the prettiest buildings in town.
It's easy to get around to various offices without having to drive or walk far. Most of the county population is older so this is important.
Recently, my mom and I visited several offices after my father passed away. No one wants to visit a government office, but the folks in the Register of Deeds and Probate Court offices were helpful. We also went through security several times, and those guards were nice as well.
Once the will was filed, the probate office called to let us know. A few weeks later, we received it back in the mail with no complications.
Everyone was very efficient and we didn't have a substantial wait with any office. The employees were kind and answered our questions, making a scary process a bit easier.
These folks interact with a lot of people who have lost family members or have gone through stressful situations, and I'm grateful that they do it with a positive attitude. read more
