🎓 They're Heading to College...
But Are You Still Allowed to Help in an Emergency?
It's a question many parents don't think about until it's too late.
Once your child turns 18, they become a legal adult. That means you may no longer have the automatic ability to:
🏥 Speak with medical providers
📋 Access certain medical information
💳 Handle important financial matters during an emergency
Before they pack their dorm room and begin this exciting new chapter, consider having these important documents in place:
✔️ Medical Power of Attorney
✔️ Financial Power of Attorney
✔️ HIPAA Authorization
These documents can help ensure that if the unexpected happens, the people they trust have the ability to assist when it matters most.
College is about gaining independence—but preparation and peace of mind are gifts every parent can give.
💜 Before move-in day, make sure you've checked more than the packing list.
