The South Carolina Real Estate Power of Attorney certifies a prearranged understanding for a property owner to extend defined ownership rights to an assigned agent. Those in possession of a real estate holding may want to issue a particular set of privileges to an attorney-in-fact in instances where they are not available to perform related actions. The provided paperwork can be used in cases where the principal is absent for someone to speak or act on their behalf to effectively sell, buy, refinance or lease in place of the owner. The document can be filled according to the needs of the declarant and authority granted to cover a range of or a restricted amount of permissions on a per property basis.
