How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Property Deed in South Carolina

In 2024, a personal client in South Carolina sought assistance in drafting a property deed to grant an easement for a well accidentally placed on their son’s property by a neighbor. Recently, after surveying to install a fence, it was discovered that the neighbor's well was mistakenly located on the client’s land. The client aimed to formalize an agreement allowing the neighbor to use the well for drinking water, while also ensuring that the terms would remain at the discretion of future property owners. As a result, the client received two proposals from licensed attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $499 to $500. All proposals were submitted to meet the client's requested deadline of over a week.
