The South Carolina Motor Vehicle Power of Attorney introduces a legal preparation that orders an individual to receive allocated rights regarding a vehicle owned by another. The presented privileges create an arrangement that verifies the attorney-in-fact can lawfully speak an act on behalf of the automobile’s owner for transactions involving the vehicle. The designated agent can then carry out the transfer, registration, and title adjustments without the assistance or presence of the principal owner. The paperwork must be finalized with the correlating information on the declarant and agent and then executed with the aid of a notary to witness the event.
