South Carolina Power of Attorney Forms
A South Carolina Power of Attorney Form serves as an official statement that a person (the “attorney-in-fact” or “agent”) has the power to handle broad or specific tasks on behalf of the person completing the form (the “principal”). The agent selected should be someone that the principal knows well, such as family or a family friend. When completing the form, the principal should be as specific as possible to avoid granting the attorney-in-fact too much power over their life. If the principal finds that they made the POA too broad, they can revoke it and issue another power of attorney at any time.
All power of attorney forms, regardless of the type, terminate upon the death of the principal.
