I have an appointment coming up with a government agency.  I also have a difficult medical appointment (a must keep) scheduled the same day, but in the afternoon.  I don't think I am up to handling both.  I tried searching Google, but I can't find the forms for "Power of Attorney" and "Living Will."

I need all the help I can get to find for me some downloadable forms for "limited" Power of Attorney that I can give to my partner to act on my behalf with the government agency, and I need the a downloadable copy of a "Living Will" form to give to my son as well as exhibit to the medical appointment.   

I'm not truly enlightened about these things, but I have heard from a neighbor that some such forms are "South Carolina specific."  I don't know if that is the case or not.  I had a previous "living will" made and gave it to my son, but he has somehow lost it, or I really forgot to give it to him and  I've lost it.

Can anyone help with locating information and/or forms that I can download for the Living Will, as well as a Limited Power of Attorney.

Don't knock yourself out as I am asking on another couple of boards as well, and maybe I'll get lucky and still find the things myself on line.   But, if someone knows a quicker way for me to get these forms, please, send me a personal message on my profile page, or post it here. 

Thanks, peoples.

If I'm understanding you need the specific form for S. Carolina? If so, here is the "living will" that I found. Called "DECLARATION OF A DESIRE FOR A NATURAL
DEATH" 

It's at the bottom of the page:

The entire page explains many things and has a great Q&A at the bottom regarding Health Power of Attorney, as well as the above form. It's quite lengthy.

even better! pdf versions here:

JD, the forms are definitely state-specific ~ any big office store [OfficeMax or the like] should have the Cole forms for your state ~ the forms are all fill-in the blanks and very inexpensive ~ you fill in your information and you can cross out any provision you don't want to include ~ I just did a generic search for "legal forms" and the first 2 hits are below ~ it might be well worth your time to check them out ~ but be sure you specify your state ~ also, I'm guessing whatever form you use will need to be notarized, so do NOT sign the form until you are in front of a notary public ~ Sooz

Here's a general  PoA if you need something quick, but it still has to be notorized etc. etc.:

Thanks, folks.  I think I can fill in the blanks from this point.  I couldn't find anything that would let me be "state-specific," and I was leery of using a general form.  You all did well.  Thanks a million. 

I filled out one, and it printed out a pretty decent looking document.  It was the POA.  I haven't done the Living Will one yet, but I'm sure it will be okay. 

Sooz, you will never believe how few and far between are stationery stores.  Office Max is a nightmare to get to and get out of.    It always amazes me as to how much is missing in this State capitol.  

Thank you, again,
