[SC] [SC] My grandparents passed down land to their 5 children. One uncle is refusing to transfer the 2 acres of land belonging to my other uncle. What can be done?

My grandparents passed down land to their 5 children in SC. The way that the land is supposed to be divided is spelled out in my grandmother’s last will and testament. From my understanding the remaining portion is in the name of my grandmother’s estate AND one of her sons, my uncle, S.G. (I have the documents). Said uncle S.G. never really got along with his brother, J.G., my other uncle. Me and my uncle J.G. are close, and he wishes to gift me his portion of the land which happens to be 2 acres. Uncle S.G. refuses to do what is necessary to transfer the 2 acres that belong to J.G. so that he can, in turn, gift the land to me. My question is, “What needs to be done so that J.G. can obtain his land from S.G. so that J.G. can gift the land to me?” Sidebar: J.G. currently resides in AZ and me, the land, and S.G. are in SC.

[FL] [FL] Am I liable for my late husband’s credit card debt?

My husband passed in April. I’m getting requests from credit card companies addressed to “Estate of…”. The house was in his name and I am the successor. No other assets or money—lived month to month. Am I responsible for his debt and can they come after the house? It’s 3–5 cards, maybe $10k total.
