Parents of 18-year-olds, listen up!
Your child is officially an adult in the eyes of the law.

Things just changed whether they are heading off to college, the military, or still living at home.
✔️You no longer have the same parental authority; in fact, you will now be barred in many cases.
✔️You’re likely not thinking of estate planning while celebrating graduation. But, your next big step to guiding your young adult is helping them protect themselves.
✔️An "estate plan" sounds like something for Grandma and Grandpa, but for 18-year-olds, it's about being prepared for the unexpected and granting authorities in advance.

Imagine: Your child is in an accident and can't communicate.
Without a Health Care Agent and HIPAA Authorization, doctors can't even talk to you about their condition, and you cannot make necessary decisions. Scary, right?
An estate plan for a young adult includes
🔹Advance Directive and HIPAA: So, you (or someone they trust) can make medical decisions if they can't.
🔹Durable Power of Attorney: To handle bills or bank accounts if they're incapacitated.
🔹A simple Will: To state their wishes for any personal belongings.
It's about empowering them, granting peace of mind, and ensuring they can get help when needed and without legal roadblocks.
Let's get them set up for success (and safety)!
