Do you have a child who is 18 years old and going to college?
Once “children” reach the age of 18, they are now legally adults. Parents can no longer make medical decisions or access medical information unless the adult child grants permission. Also, if a child is no longer claimed as dependent on tax returns, the parents likely won’t be able to get educational information either. If you have a child who is 18 years or age or older and going to college, you may consider having them grant a power of attorney for medical decisions, a power of attorney for financial decisions and educational information, and a HIPAA release for medical information. If your child would like to have powers of attorney and a HIPAA release prepared, contact the Law Office of Roy Neal Linnartz, PLLC at 830-625-9300.
