HILTON HEAD, S.C. — Jailed South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh has given up his right to accept any interest in the estate of his late wife, Maggie Murdaugh, according to a document filed Monday in Colleton County Probate Court.
Maggie Murdaugh's stake in "Moselle," the Colleton County property where she and her son were found murdered on June 7, 2021, and in an Edisto Beach house would then fall to her surviving child, Richard Alexander "Buster" Murdaugh Jr.
That is if the move survives a challenge from the multiple creditors seeking funds from the Murdaugh family, which include the family of Mallory Beach, who was killed in a 2019 boat crash involving Murdaugh's son Paul. The legal filing could be interpreted as a way to avoid the property from falling into the hands of those creditors.
