Registration

There is no registry for advance directives in South Carolina. The principal should discuss their directive with their agent and their physician, and they should provide each a signed copy of the document.

Revocation

The advance directive can be revoked by a written revocation, by the oral expression of the principal’s intent to revoke, or by the physical destruction of the document.[3]

State Definition

South Carolina does have a statutory form to which a valid advance directive must be substantially similar.[5]
