Your college move-in checklist may be missing three important items.

Once a child turns 18, parents may no longer have automatic authority to access medical information, make health care decisions, or handle financial matters—even during an emergency.

Before your student leaves for college, consider discussing:
1. A designation of health care surrogate
2. A HIPAA authorization
3. A durable power of attorney

These documents do not take away a student’s independence. They allow the student to decide who can step in and help when needed.

Your estate plan may travel with you in spirit—but the signed originals usually should not.

Our latest blog explains why secure storage matters, what copies belong in an emergency folder, and how to make sure the right people can locate your originals when they are needed.
