Do You Have A Graduating Senior? …Here’s What You Need To Know!

Did You Know…

Now that your graduating senior is “legally” an adult upon reaching 18, you can no longer make important medical or financial decisions on his or her behalf

Your graduating senior may still be your baby, but in the eyes of the law, he/she is now an ADULT!  No one at your young adult’s college will discuss his/her situation or share any information about him/her unless you can show signed documents authorizing the sharing.    

That also means you can no longer make important medical or financial decisions for your child without their permission.

But let’s face it….your job of being a PARENT doesn’t stop just because your child turns 18.  If there’s a medical emergency or your child asks for financial help, you NEED the ability to cut through the legal red tape and get involved.

  • FACT:  Doctors, hospitals, colleges, and financial institutions will NOT bend the rules on this! It’s against privacy laws. You must have at least 3 KEY DOCUMENTS in place to make important medical or financial decisions on your child’s behalf (just imagine the nightmare of your child getting hurt hundreds of miles away at school, and the hospital refuses to give you so much as a status update!).

We are Drazen Rubin Law, LLC, and we are estate planning attorneys in Milford.

We call these 3 key documents the Parent Sanity Protection Kit as they give you the legal permission you need to HELP your child and avoid more gray hair at the same time!  The documents included in this kit include:

–  Advance Health Care Directive

–  Financial Power of Attorney

–  HIPAA Forms 

This Parent Sanity Kit is normally $1200, but to ensure your child is protected before the summer or college starts, you can now receive this critical kit for just $795 when you call (203) 877-7511 and schedule your appointment within the next 30 days.

P.S.- Graduation Gift for YOU:  Mention this page and receive a FREE Lifetime Pathways Planning Session (normally $750) to go over YOUR will, trust, or other legal documents! Having an “adult” child is a huge life-change for mom or dad, too, and your estate planning documents must be updated accordingly!
