Power of attorney lawyer in Loris, SC

Why POA documents matter

A power of attorney lets a trusted person handle decisions when you can’t. Josephs Law Firm PA prepares financial powers and health care power of attorney documents suited to everyday needs around Loris and Conway, from paying bills to speaking with doctors. Clear instructions reduce delays for families and caregivers.

Financial vs. health care authority

Financial POA: banking, real estate, and contracts. Health care POA: treatment choices, facilities, and coordination with a living will. We tailor permissions to your comfort level and discuss how local hospitals and providers interpret these directives.

Timing and practical tips

Create documents before travel, surgery, or big moves. If you’re closing on a home or refinancing, a limited POA during real estate closings can save time while keeping control narrow. You’ll meet your attorney to decide what powers are granted and when they begin.

What to bring

Agent names and contact info, a list of accounts or properties, and any prior directives you want to keep or change.
