- Title 62 - SOUTH CAROLINA PROBATE CODE
- ARTICLE 1 General Provisions, Definitions, and Probate Jurisdiction of Court
- Part 1 Short Title, Construction, General Provisions
Whenever an attorney-client relationship exists between a lawyer and a fiduciary, communications between the lawyer and the fiduciary shall be subject to the attorney-client privilege unless waived by the fiduciary, even though fiduciary funds may be used to compensate the lawyer for legal services rendered to the fiduciary. The existence of a fiduciary relationship between a fiduciary and a beneficiary does not constitute or give rise to any waiver of the privilege for communications between the lawyer and the fiduciary.
