🎓 Parents of college students: There's one legal document you don't want to overlook. When your child turns 18, you're no longer automatically allowed to make medical decisions or even receive information about their health—even if you're paying the bills or they still live at home. A Healthcare Power of Attorney allows your adult child to choose someone they trust to make medical decisions if they're unable to speak for themselves. It can also make it much easier for doctors to communicate with the family during an emergency. Whether your son or daughter is heading off to college, joining the military, or simply becoming an adult, this is one of the most important documents they can have. 📍 Chapman & Stender Law Group proudly helps families throughout Oklahoma City, Norman, Moore, Edmond, Yukon, Mustang, and across Oklahoma prepare for life's unexpected moments.
