Congratulations! You just turned 18. You are an adult now,
well, legally speaking. Your parents can no longer gain access to your
financial information or make medical decisions for you. But before you
celebrate your newfound independence, here is something to consider. What if
you need help?
When you turn 18, it’s important that you authorize someone—most likely your parents—to stand in for you and make decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so for yourself. The smart thing is to get a financial power of attorney and a health care power of attorney with an advanced health care directive.
Taking this step will ensure that your parents (or other trusted individuals) will be able to help with important matters if needed, while still respecting your wishes and autonomy as an adult.
