[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Somewhat related: I was thinking of getting a healthcare power of attorney before my 18 year old goes OOS to college this fall. This would be in case of something really bad like a car accident and the kid isn’t able to communicate. Anyone hear or have experience that this is necessary or is it overkill since I’m the parent?[/quote] If your child is 18, they are an adult and just like any other adult family member, you need a healthcare power of attorney if you are going to make appointments or request records or talk with the doctor about treatment decisions or make medical decisions for them. [b]It's not overkill[/b]. [/quote] Not overkill at all. DH is an estate planning attorney and our children have all signed health care power of attorney documents.[/quote]
