The Young Adult Legal Foundations package | Download
The Young Adult Legal Foundations package is designed for individuals 18 years of age and older who do not yet own substantial assets. This package is perfect for young adults (and the young at heart) headed off to college, and others who don’t yet have a need for (or bandwidth to handle yet) a complete estate plan, but do need a basic foundation in place in case of an emergency.
These documents allow you to:
- Make it easier to take care of you in an emergency
- Appoint someone to make medical decisions for you in the event of an emergency, and give them guidance
- Grant access to speak with your doctor and access your medical records, so that your parents or other loved ones can obtain information directly from the hospital/doctor in an emergency (everything from “has my kid been admitted to the hospital” to more detailed medical information)
- Appoint someone to pay bills, handle finances, contact utility companies, and handle other financial tasks in case you are ill or incapacitated for any period of time
Included:
- California Health Care Power of Attorney (incorporates what other states may call a “living will” and “health care power of attorney”)
- California HIPAA release
- California Financial Power of Attorney
Not included:
- Will or trust
- Inheritance planning. These documents are California specific, and should only be used by individuals with California legal needs, which usually means people who live in California.
