Is Your Child Over 18? An Advance Health Care Directive and a Power of Attorney Are Needed!
Client Appreciation Coffee, Donuts &Shredding Event! Saturday, June 03, 2023 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM Lucie Stern Center Fireside Room and Parking Lot 1305 Middlefield Road, Palo Alto, CA 94301 Turning 18 is an exciting time. Perhaps your student is off to college or other adventures. It is necessary as your child gains independence into adulthood, that you discuss the importance of them signing an advance health care directive and power of attorney. • Advance Health Care Directive: Now that your child is 18, you can no longer access his/her medical records, speak to his/her physicians or make medical decisions on his/her behalf. Your child can sign an advance health care directive appointing an adult to serve as his/her advocate either immediately or in the case of a medical emergency. • Power of Attorney: Now that your child is 18, you cannot access his/ her financial accounts, contract on his/her behalf, or obtain any non-medical information from any institution. A college will let you pay his/her tuition but you cannot ask any questions! Your child can sign a power of attorney appointing an adult to make financial decisions on his/her behalf either immediately or in the case of an emergency. Signing these documents is critical! You do not know when your child will need you to take action. The law firm charges $750 to meet with an attorney and prepare an advance health care directive and a power of attorney; however, in appreciation of our clients, the law firm will provide this service for $500 per child. Please contact the office to get started. We are happy to invite our clients, their families, and Successor Trustees to our annual Client Appreciation Shredding Event. This year we will be providing coffee and a variety of donuts. Come enjoy a delicious treat as Jessica’s Shredding Team destroys your documents on-site.
