During the last few months, I have been saying “If you’re 18, 108, or any age in between,
there are some life planning needs for you to consider.”
Many people don’t believe there are legal planning needs for an 18-year-old, but there are.
The world is getting more complicated.
Clear documentation is needed to identify the person or persons who can act on your behalf and with what authority.
Case in point, I received a call from a friend who is a financial advisor I work with. He found himself in a conversation with several other parents who all had children heading off to college. Several discovered, quite by surprise, that they no longer had access to a lot of information of their now-18-year-old children.
They had it before.
Then "poof" life happens.
Here’s the reality – Law is confusing.
Here’s another reality – most people don't want to talk about planning, especially an 18-year-old.
There are three primary areas of information, let alone decision-making, that parents don't have free access to for an 18 year old:
- Education Information,
- Financial and property information/access, and
- Medical Information, both access, ability to talk to medical people, as well as if decision-making becomes necessary.
