The bill H. 4510 aims to amend Section 12-51-90 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, which pertains to the redemption of real property. The proposed amendment allows heirs of deceased property owners to redeem the property under certain conditions. Specifically, it introduces a new provision that permits an heir to redeem real property by submitting an affidavit that verifies their familial relationship to the deceased owner, along with any necessary assessments, penalties, costs, and interest to the official responsible for collecting delinquent taxes.

This change is significant as it provides a legal pathway for heirs to reclaim property that may otherwise be lost due to unpaid taxes, thereby protecting the interests of families in South Carolina. The bill will take effect upon receiving approval from the Governor.
