With summer swiftly approaching, many families will be celebrating high school graduations and making plans to send those children off to college. But many are not prepared for the reality that parents lose their ability to access health and financial information related to their children after those children become young adults.

On this episode Partners Erin Nicholls and Michael Clear highlight the key documents that are essential to ensuring financial and medical decision-making powers are in place should the unexpected happen. They will give insight as to why having a Power of Attorney, Health Care Documents and a Will in place is essential for many young adults.
