The kids are headed back to school, and it's a great time to make sure you've got your legal ducks in a row.

Kids under 18: make sure you've nominated a guardian.

Kids over 18: make sure you can talk to their doctor and their doctor can talk to you, with a HIPAA release, health care directive, and power of attorney.

Handle both today at the link in bio.

Bonus:

Make sure emergency contacts are up to date, and your kid's school knows how to get a hold of you and who to contact in an emergency if theycan't reach you.

Who would take care of your kids under the age of 18 if you couldn't? Make sure you have a guardian nomination in place so you have a say in the matter.

Who shares your values? Who would your kids live with, who would make sure they go to school, eat healthy food, and live in a good home?

Please complete and update your guardian nomination by working with me one-on-one to complete your estate plan, or use the Guardian Nomination package on my website and at my link in bio.

Would you want your kids controlling your life savings at age 18? Most of us don't have much financial experience by age 18. A trust is the best way to set priorities for how your kids use their inheritance until an age that * you * choose, whether that's education, health care, housing, or buying a house. Let's talk about what that looks like for you and your kids. Please schedule a Zoom or call on our website today.

We've been talking a lot about the documents adult children need to have in place as they go off to college (and all of us need to be age 18 or over) to ensure that you can talk to their doctor in an emergency.
Now let's talk about minors, kids under age 18.

As kids go back to school, it's an important time to update emergency contacts and authorization for who can pick them up from school, daycare, and after-school activities. Who would pick them up if you can't? Are they officially authorized to do so?

Bonus tip for pet parents - same things apply to pets! 🐕 🐈

Once you've set up your documents, one of the most important steps is where to store them.

Having legal documents like a health care directive, HIPAA release, and power of attorney tucked away in a drawer where no one can find them is not helpful. Like any important document, these only work if they can be found by the right people at the right time - when they’re needed.

Give a copy to your doctor or medical provider, share one with your trusted decision-makers, and keep a secure digital version that can be accessed quickly in an emergency to make sure these can really help you out when you need them.

If you found this helpful, share it with a friend or parent who needs to hear it and follow for more practical legal planning tips.

And if you’re ready to set up your California health care directive, HIPAA release, and power of attorney, you can find the Young Adult Legal Foundations package on my website.
