Free South Carolina (SC) Power of Attorney Forms

Use our South Carolina Power of Attorney form to let someone make legal and financial decisions for you.

Updated November 17, 2020

Power of attorney forms are legal documents used to choose another person, known as the “agent” or “attorney-in-fact,” to legally make financial or medical decisions for you (the “principal”).

If you plan to leave the country for an extended period of time, or want to prepare for a time when you’re unable to make your own decisions, power of attorney is what you assign to someone you trust to make important financial or medical decisions on your behalf.

There are various types of power of attorney, and requirements vary by state. Find your legally-binding South Carolina (SC) power of attorney form below by type.
