🎓 BEFORE THEY LEAVE HOME…
You’ve bought the bedding.
You’ve packed the mini fridge.
You’ve stocked up on school supplies.
You’ve probably had the conversation about laundry more than once.
You’re checking off everything on the college checklist.
But there’s one important item that almost never makes the list.
The legal documents your child may need once they turn 18.
This surprises many parents, but once your child becomes a legal adult, you no longer automatically have the legal authority to:
✔ Speak with their healthcare providers
✔ Access their medical information
✔ Make healthcare decisions if they’re unable to speak for themselves
✔ Help manage financial matters
✔ Access certain educational information
No one likes to think about an emergency happening while their child is away at school.
The good news is that a few simple legal documents can help ensure the people they trust are able to step in if the unexpected happens.
That’s why Legacy Law Group offers our College Peace of Mind Package, designed specifically for young adults heading off to college, trade school, military service, or simply beginning life as an independent adult.
The package includes:
✔ Durable Financial Power of Attorney
✔ Healthcare Power of Attorney
✔ HIPAA Authorization
✔ Living Will (Advance Directive)
✔ FERPA Authorization
Our hope is that these documents are never needed.
But if they ever are, you’ll be thankful they’re already in place.
As you prepare for this exciting next chapter, let us help you check one more important item off the move-in checklist and send your student off with confidence.
