🎓 Is your child heading off to college this September?
Now is the perfect time to get important legal documents in place.
Once your child turns 18, you no longer have automatic access to their medical records or the ability to make decisions on their behalf in an emergency.
Consider having these documents prepared before move-in day:
✔️ Healthcare Power of Attorney
✔️ HIPAA Authorization
✔️ Durable Power of Attorney
✔️ Living Will/Advance Directive
No parent wants to think about an emergency, but having the right documents in place can provide peace of mind for both you and your college student.
Don't wait until the last minute—start getting everything together now so you're ready before the fall semester begins.
