I don't know if I can post this. If not sorry to the mods.
Paul Murdaugh killed Mallory Beach. One cold night in February, he was driving drunk, as he often did, and he put every life on his boat in jeopardy. When the boat crashed, everyone was injured, and Mallory paid the price for Paul’s criminal recklessness with her life.

The attorney for the Beach suit said he did not plan to include the driver of the boat because he did not believe that Paul had any assets. But a quick search on the Beaufort County Treasurer’s real and personal property tax bill lookup
website reveals a living trust in Paul’s name for property at 13 and 14 Hand Drive in Port Royal. If this exists for Paul’s benefit, chances are there are other assets in the son’s name that are worth asking about.
In addition to the living trust for Paul, the Beaufort County Treasure website lists a multitude of Murdaugh holdings in that county. There is no doubt the Murdaughs have properties and assets in other areas of South Carolina and a good probability of holdings out of state. All of this needs to be part of the discovery in the Beach wrongful death case.
Paul’s father, Richard Alexander Murdaugh, is listed as affiliated with or as the owner of numerous businesses including
Murdaugh Rental Center,
Murdaugh Charters LLC,
Redbeard LLC,
Eclipse Landscape and Design LLC,
Medical Consultants of the Lowcountry LLC, and of course the law firm
Peters, Murdaugh, Parker, Eltzroth & Detrick.
Chances are he, his now deceased wife, and others in the Murdaugh family are involved in many more local businesses and real estate holdings that are not as easily identified.
Still, there is one major property that is hard to hide. The 460-acre family island where the fateful boat sojourn started that night, and where the group of six planned to stay overnight actually has
approvals for 19 homes, which could significantly increase its value.
