Four documents, one package
Everything that turning 18 takes away
HIPAA Authorization
Talk to doctors and access medical records the moment your child turns 18.
FERPA Release
Access grades, tuition accounts, and disciplinary records the school would otherwise hide.
Durable Power of Attorney
Handle banking, taxes, and contracts on their behalf if they can't — or aren't around to.
Healthcare Directive
Name a medical decision-maker and document their wishes for an emergency.
Why it matters
The moments you can't plan for
A hospital won't tell you anything
Without a HIPAA authorization, doctors legally can't share your own child's condition — even in an emergency.
The registrar hangs up on you
FERPA locks you out of grades, billing, and enrollment the day they turn 18. A release puts you back on the account.
A bank account they can't reach
A durable power of attorney lets you handle banking, taxes, and paperwork while they're away or unable to act.
