In determining a claim against an estate, a court shall reduce the amount allowed by the amount of any counterclaims allowed and, if such counterclaims exceed the claim, render a judgment against the claimant in the amount of the excess. A counterclaim, liquidated or unliquidated, may arise from a transaction other than that upon which the claim is based. A counterclaim may give rise to relief exceeding in amount or different in kind from that sought in the claim.","path":["Title 62 - SOUTH CAROLINA PROBATE CODE","ARTICLE 3 Probate of Wills and Administration","Part 8 Creditors' Claims"],"source_url":"https://www.scstatehouse.gov/code/t62c003.php","current_through":"2025 Session of the General Assembly","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-02T08:08:34Z","sha256":"d1c04ad349bbb0c041ba3f13943fd192d74f39362218b5c4f92f419f2e1daeb6","source_id":"us-sc","stale":false,"prev":"us-sc/s.c.-code-ann.-62-3-810","next":"us-sc/s.c.-code-ann.-62-3-812"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
