Health Care Legal Document and School
Health care legal document preparation is as important as packing up the kids or grandkids for a year away at college or thinking about your own plans. Whether someone has a current health issue or everyone is in ideal health, preparing a health care legal document for the unexpected is essential.
Children over age 18 and Health Care Decisions
Your kids or grandkids over age 18 might be getting ready for college away from home or living at home. No matter where they reside, if they are 18 or older, they are considered adults under the law and are afforded HIPPA protection that protects the privacy of medical records and information. Consequently, if your adult child becomes injured or ill, you will have difficulty obtaining medical information and making decisions for their care.
