Recording your South Carolina POA
South Carolina requires (or permits) recording of the POA at the Register of Deeds (or Clerk of Court) in the county where the principal resides at the time the instrument is recorded (or, if the principal resides outside South Carolina, in any county where property of the principal is located) when it covers real property. See S.C. Code §62-8-109(c)-(d) (post-incapacity recording requirement) and §30-5-30 (recording of instruments affecting title).
Recording isn't required for a POA used only for financial accounts, but it's needed before your agent can sell, lease, or mortgage real estate on your behalf.
