Power Not Affected by Principal's Incapacity.
This Power of Attorney is durable as provided by S.C. Code Ann. 62-8-104 which means that it is not terminated by the principal's incapacity. "Incapacity" means inability of an individual to manage property or business affairs because the individual: (A) has an impairment in the ability to receive and evaluate information or make or communicate decisions even with the use of technological assistance; or (B) is: (i) missing; (ii) detained, including incarcerated in a penal system; or (iii) outside the United States and unable to return.

I specifically direct my Agent to defer to and abide by any Health Care Power of Attorney, Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care, "Living Will" or Declaration of a Desire for A Natural Death [hereinafter "Declaration"] executed by me. My Agent shall in no way interfere with, impede, or act contrary to my wishes, intention, and directives in such instrument or instruments. In the event any decisions or matter within the scope of the Agent's authority granted herein should directly conflict with the authority of directives of any of the aforementioned instruments executed by me, then any such instrument or instruments shall control, supersede, and take priority over any such conflicting decisions or matter within the scope of authority granted herein.

Incidentals
Pursuant to S.C. Code Ann 62-8-108, l hereby nominate my Agent as my conservator or guardian for consideration by the court if protective proceedings for the estate or person are begun after the execution of this power of attorney. My Agent shall be eligible to serve in other fiduciary capacities, for me or my benefit, including but not limited to serve as trustee and/or committee. I hereby nominate, constitute and appoint my Agent to act in any or all of the aforementioned capacities and serve without bond. The appointment of a guardian and/or conservator shall not terminate any authority granted or matters within the scope of this Durable Power of Attorney.

This was the simplest method of filing a document that I've ever encountered. I've already recommended it my colleagues, and would highly encourage anyone to use it. Fast, easy, simple.

This was such a money saver. I was told by someone at the courthouse that I had to have a lawyer prepare the paper work for my mom. They stated that family members couldn't prepare the papers. I was hopeful when I found that I could prepare the survivorship affidavit on Deeds. I was able to prepare everything myself and had no issues today when at the courthouse for all the changes. Thank you!

Found the forms I needed but had to type these out my self in Word since these forms do not allow any information to be saved. I understand you want this to be proprietary information but you failed to deliver a usable product. I printed this template and built my own in microsoft word. Good examples and instructions with poor execution. I lost hours of typing and nearly lost real estate deals due to these documents not being in a format ready to use. Will be using another service next time or buying these as guides alone.

The form was incompatible with my son's new computer. I do not have a printer. We did use your form to type a copy into "word" so he could print it.

I had a really good experience. I bought two forms from a different website and they didn’t help me at all. Granted, I only paid the minimum here I bought the upgrade and they showed me how to fill it out and what it should look like I went and had it notarized and took it to the county recorder and everything went smoothly. Highly suggest.

Glad it all came together smoothly for you, Casey. Appreciate you giving us a shot and taking the time to share your experience.
