While You Wait, Here's Your First Assignment
No, there won't be a quiz.
Have a conversation with your child.
You don't have to start with powers of attorney, HIPAA, or federal privacy laws. Start with one simple question:
“If something happened while you were away at college and you couldn't handle things yourself, who would you want helping you?”
That's really what this planning is about.
Your child is an adult now. The goal isn't to take that independence away.
The goal is to help your child use it.
