Your Child Turned 18. You Lost Legal Authority.

Power of Attorney for College Students

The moment your child turns 18, you can no longer access their medical records, make healthcare decisions, or manage their finances — even in an emergency. A Power of Attorney ensures you can still help when they need you most.

What Changes When Your Child Turns 18

Medical Access Denied

Hospitals cannot share your child’s medical information with you. HIPAA protections kick in at 18 — even parents are shut out without authorization.

No Healthcare Decisions

If your child is unconscious or incapacitated, doctors cannot consult you about treatment without a healthcare Power of Attorney.

Financial Lockout

You can’t access their bank accounts, manage student loans, handle insurance claims, or deal with billing issues without a financial Power of Attorney.
