Legal Documents for Children Going to College

Sending your young adults off to college is an exciting milestone, but amidst the flurry of preparations, it’s crucial not to overlook an essential aspect of their future well-being – legal documents. As parents, completing Durable Powers of Attorney, Advance Directives, and HIPAA documents for your college-bound kids can provide peace of mind and ensure their protection in unforeseen circumstances. In this blog, we will highlight the significance of these legal documents for children going to college and why they should be on your college-prep checklist.


Durable Powers of Attorney: Ensuring Decision-Making Continuity


Durable Powers of Attorney grant parents the authority to make legal and financial decisions on behalf of their young adults if they become incapacitated. As your children venture into college life, they may encounter accidents or illnesses that temporarily render them unable to manage their affairs. Having a Durable Power of Attorney in place allows you to step in as a decision-maker, ensuring critical matters like bills, insurance claims, and other legal affairs are handled efficiently.
