Estate planning packages

Student Essentials Plan

On their eighteenth birthday your child becomes a legal adult, and the hospital stops talking to you. This is the small set of documents that keeps a parent able to help — a healthcare power of attorney, a HIPAA release, and a financial power of attorney.

For a young adult heading to college: the documents that let a parent act for them once they turn 18.

What changes at eighteen

You can still be paying tuition and carrying them on your insurance, and a hospital will not confirm whether they were admitted. A university will not discuss a medical withdrawal. A bank will not talk to you about their account.

None of that requires a court. It requires three signatures your student can give in an afternoon before they leave.

Written for a student, not a retiree

The powers are narrow and revocable. Your student stays in charge and can cancel any of it at any time — the documents exist for the phone call nobody plans for.

How you get it done

You answer plain-English questions online, at whatever hour suits you. Your documents are assembled from templates a Florida estate planning attorney wrote and keeps current. Then you sign, with witnessing and notarization handled online where Florida law allows it, and your documents are stored where your family can find them. If you want an attorney to look at your plan or handle it for you, that is available separately.

What's included

  • Healthcare Power of Attorney
  • HIPAA Release
  • Durable Financial Power of Attorney
  • Attorney-written Florida templates
  • Remote online notarization and witnessing where Florida law allows

What it does not cover

  • A will or any distribution planning
  • Trust work or probate avoidance
  • Documents for the parent — those are a separate plan

Is this you?

If none of these quite fit, that is worth a conversation rather than a guess.

  • Parents of a student heading to college
  • Young adults turning 18 who live away from home
  • Students studying out of state for part of the year

Student Essentials, answered.

More general questions live on the questions page.

Why is there only one price?

It is one young adult's set of documents, so there is no married price. If both parents also want plans, look at the Power 5 package.

Does my student have to sign it themselves?

Yes. They are the adult granting the authority, so the documents are theirs to complete and sign.

Does it work outside Florida?

Most hospitals will honor it, though practice varies by state. If they are studying out of state, say so during intake.
