South Carolina Healthcare Power of Attorney

You can help maintain control of who makes healthcare decisions for you by drafting a South Carolina Power of Attorney. This document only comes into effect if you become incapacitated, and it's an essential part of planning your future healthcare. It specifies a trusted person to make decisions on your behalf if you're unable to communicate your wishes. Whether you have declining health or just want to be prepared, a South Carolina Power of Attorney keeps things straightforward.

Use the South Carolina Healthcare Power of Attorney document if:

• Your doctor has diagnosed you with a terminal illness, declining health, or has scheduled a surgery for you.
• You just want to make sure the person, or alternates, you trust can take over if you become incapacitated.
