Wills
Healthcare powers of attorney and living wills, or “desires for natural death,” as they are referred to in South Carolina, are state specific forms. Consequently, it is generally advisable to consider executing these South Carolina specific forms. They do not need to be filed in the County records like the durable general power of attorney, but you should consider providing your healthcare provider with copies of both instruments to be attached to your medical records.
Trusts
Power of Attorney
However, a will is only part of the equation. Generally a good basic estate plan consists of a will, a general durable power of attorney, a healthcare power of attorney, and a living will. Like wills, a durable general power of attorney executed in another state in compliance with that state’s laws is valid in South Carolina. Whether executed in South Carolina or another state, the durable general power of attorney is required to be filed in the Register of Deeds Office in the South Carolina County in which the declarant resides. Therefore, if you have moved to Beaufort County, your general durable power of attorney should be filed in Beaufort County’s records in the Register of Deeds Office.
