Medical Power of Attorney Form - South Carolina

When drafting a South Carolina Medical Power of Attorney Form , it is important to choose a fitting agent. It is this individual that will legally hold the power to make life changing medical decisions on behalf of the principal. This happens in the event that the principal cannot communicate with healthcare staff anymore. As a consequence, the principal would need a trusted individual to make these decisions for them. Such decisions must consider the practices and values that are important to the principal. This information needs to be explained to the agent just before the South Carolina Medical Power of Attorney is drafted and signed.

Like most states, South Carolina is strict when it comes to signing requirements and legally requires two witnesses to be present during the process of signing. The witnesses must also sign the document. It is also important to note that in South Carolina, the principal can select up to two agents.
