Cease And Desist Guidelines

Summary

Cease and desist letters can be sent by you, your attorney, or a representative. If sent via an attorney, the recipient can contact them. You can instruct your attorney to limit communication to avoid unnecessary costs. Sending cease and desist letters via email is possible, but follow up with certified mail. Each recipient should receive an individual letter. Access to birth and death records in South Carolina is restricted to immediate family, legal representatives, or those with a direct interest. Court petitions for records will notify you if required. In both South Carolina and North Carolina, court filings are recorded, and you can search for them online using the involved persons name.
