Nobody wakes up wanting to write a will. People do it when something forces the issue — a baby, a closing, a diagnosis, or a parent's estate that turned into a mess nobody planned for. If you've been meaning to get to it since the last time one of those happened, JP Rankin handles wills, trusts and estate planning at Smith Debnam, fifteen minutes over the Ravenel.

Where happy hour season begins

Patio weather is finally holding up its end of the deal, and the 4-to-7 window is the best time of day on the creek. We keep the best happy hours in Mount Pleasant in one guide — by spot and by deal, from half-off bottles to the sunset decks on Shem Creek. Specials come from each spot's own listings, so give them a quick check before you go.

More Mt P between Mondays — we're on Instagram at @mountpleasantscoop with events, openings, and the occasional sunset you'll wish you'd caught in person.
