Power of Attorney
in North Carolina and South Carolina
Give Someone You Trust the Authority to Act When You Can’t
If something unexpected happens, who will manage your finances or make medical decisions on your behalf?
A Power of Attorney (POA) allows you to choose the person who steps in, not the court. Yet many people don’t put one in place until it’s too late.
At Crawford Law Office, PC, we help you create legally valid POA documents that clearly assign authority, follow your state’s requirements, and prepare you and your loved ones for the future. We offer:
- A durable or limited POA for finances or legal decisions
- A health care POA tailored to your medical wishes
- Documents prepared for North Carolina or South Carolina law
- Flat-rate pricing with no hidden fees

Waiting Too Long Can Leave the Courts in Charge
Without a valid Power of Attorney, no one, not even your spouse or adult children, can automatically make legal, financial, or medical decisions for you if you become incapacitated.
In that situation, your family may have to go through court to get guardianship or conservatorship—an expensive, time-consuming, and emotionally draining process.
We help you avoid that by preparing documents now that give authority to the person you choose, in a format that hospitals, banks, and agencies will accept.
- Control Over Who Steps In
You decide who can act for you—and how much authority they have. No guessing. No court involvement. - Documents That Actually Work
We don’t use generic forms. Your POAs are drafted for North Carolina or South Carolina law and meet all legal requirements. - Legal Clarity Without the Confusion
We walk you through exactly what each document does and when it becomes effective—so you know what you’re signing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Power of Attorney
What does a Power of Attorney allow someone to do?
A financial POA allows someone to manage your legal, financial, or property matters. A health care POA allows them to make medical decisions if you’re unable. Both can be customized for limited or broad authority depending on your comfort level.
Call 910-582-4680 to discuss what type of POA best fits your needs.
When does a Power of Attorney go into effect?
You can choose whether it starts immediately or only if you become incapacitated. We explain both options and help you choose what makes sense based on your circumstances.
Call 910-582-4680 to understand the timing and effect of your POA.
Can I name more than one person?
Yes, you can name a primary agent and one or more backups (called successors). You can even allow two people to act jointly, though that may create complications. We’ll help you think it through.
Call 910-582-4680 for guidance on naming agents in your POA.
Will this document still be valid if I move states?
POAs are state-specific. If you move, your current POA may still be valid but could create delays if it doesn’t match your new state’s legal format. We draft POAs that comply with NC or SC law depending on your residence.
Call 910-582-4680 if you’re moving between states or want a document reviewed.
Is a Power of Attorney the same as a guardianship?
No. A POA lets you choose who acts for you and prevents the court from needing to appoint a guardian later. If no POA is in place, your family may have to go to court to get that authority.
Call 910-582-4680 to avoid unnecessary court involvement and get your POA done now.
