FRIDAY FINANCIAL TIP: Be prepared legally.

Having kids preparing to go to college or out of the house can bring on more "freedom" than you may think. Once your kids turn 18, you may no longer have automatic access to:
-Medical Information
- Financial accounts
- School Records
-Emergency decision-making

That's why documents like a Will and Power of Attorney can be important even for young adults heading to college or starting their careers. It's not about expecting the worst - it's about being prepared and protecting the people you love.

If you'd like to learn more about what documents you may need to consider as your kids enter adulthood, I'd be happy to help point you in the right direction.
