As spring unfolds and the school year winds down, many people find themselves in a season of celebration and change. Whether it’s graduations, new jobs, travel plans, or simply enjoying the longer days, this time of year often marks meaningful transitions.
Amid the excitement, it’s also a great opportunity to consider something many people overlook: legal planning for young adults.
Once someone turns 18, even parents or close family members no longer have automatic access to their medical or financial information. That’s why we recommend two essential documents for every legal adult: a Healthcare Power of Attorney and a Durable Financial Power of Attorney.
These provide the legal ability to make medical and financial decisions and avoid a guardianship if something would happen.
So whether you’re sending someone off to college, stepping into a new chapter yourself, or just thinking ahead, take a moment to prepare for the unexpected. Future you, or someone you love, will be glad you did.
Give us a call at (605) 275-5665. We can help you or your loved one get legal peace of mind!
