Power of Attorney Info

Recently, we have had several requests for information and forms related to power of attorney.

I am enclosing some information that may help you if you get similar questions.

The South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services has two related forms, the Health Care Power of Attorney and a Living Will form that can be downloaded and printed out.
DHHS Forms
The forms are on Page 2.

Nolo.com has some good articles on power of attorney.

Go to Google and type in the words "nolo power of attorney" to access it quickly.

Findlaw's estate section has a Durable Power of Attorney for Finances FAQ

I could not find any free South Carolina Durable or Financial Power of Attorney forms on the Web.. There are some available for sale on the Internet, but that's "buyer beware," as always.
