Records and Copy Requests
Records
The Probate Court is open Monday through Friday 9:00 a.m - 5:00 p.m for viewing of records.
The public is able to come in any time during office hours and view probate court files that are of public record. Copies can be made for $0.50 per page, or if it is a older document archived using our Papervision system, then copies will be $1.00 per page.
Generally, we will NOT accept phone, mailed, or emailed requests to search records. We do not have the staff necessary to search the records. If you need a search done, you may come in person and search the records yourself or hire an abstractor or attorney to search the records for you.
Our office is located in the Union County Court House, 210 W. Main Street, Union, SC 29379: When entering through the N. Herndon Street Entrance, we are the first office on the left.
