It's a very simple thing that could save you or your kids when time is critical. With thousands of young adults getting ready to go off to college or leaving the nest, your rights as a parent change when they turn 18. That means they're legally adults and you can no longer have the right to make critical healthcare or financial decisions on their behalf.
In the video on this page, my friend and Certified Elder Law Attorney Julian Gray tells me that doctors legally cannot even give you healthcare information during an emergency situation and you can't make those life-or-death decisions on medical care.
That all changes if you do one simple thing, get a Power of Attorney done and keep it on file.
