Raise your hand if you have a child in college or heading off to college soon.
I recently attended a conference where a speaker asked this question to a large room full of financial advisors. About 75% of the hands in the room went up.
Then he asked a follow-up question:
"Keep your hand up if you have Power of Attorney for that child."
Almost every hand in the room dropped.
Your child may be an adult at 18, but that doesn't automatically mean you'll be able to help in an emergency. From healthcare decisions to financial matters, key legal documents can help ensure parents and caregivers can step in when needed.
