01

What this resource covers

Find the South Carolina agency, official form, or state-recognized resource for advance directives and future health-care planning.

This document or guide is specific to South Carolina. Do not substitute a similarly named form from another state, province, or territory.

02

Before you sign

Use the directory to open the current South Carolina-specific source. Read that source's complete witness, notarization, capacity, and filing instructions before signing.

If capacity is disputed, the appointment is complex, or property crosses jurisdictions, get advice from a qualified lawyer or notary where appropriate.

03

After it is properly completed

Give copies to the people and health-care providers who may need the document, and record where the signed original can be found.

You can then record its location and the responsible contacts in BeforeHand. Uploading a file does not make it legally valid or replace delivery, registration, witnessing, or notarization required elsewhere.
