Turning 18 is a milestone most families celebrate — but it also brings an important legal change many people don’t realize.

Once a child becomes a legal adult, parents no longer have automatic authority to access medical information, make healthcare decisions, or handle financial matters in an emergency. Without the proper documents, even a parent may be legally unable to help.

A few simple estate planning documents can prevent unnecessary stress and delays:

• Health Care Power of Attorney – Allows someone you trust to make medical decisions if you cannot
• HIPAA Authorization – Permits access to medical information
• Durable Power of Attorney – Covers financial and legal matters
• Living Will – Expresses treatment preferences

These protections are especially important for young adults heading to college, traveling, or living independently.

📅 Free Educational Seminar
🗓 March 4, 2026
⏰ 1:00 PM & 6:00 PM
📍 Old Village Hall, Algonquin

Register through Algonquin Recreation

Estate planning at 18 isn’t about expecting the worst — it’s about making sure the right people can help when it matters most.
