Is Your Graduate Legally Prepared for College?
When a child turns 18, parents lose the ability to assist with medical, financial, and educational matters without proper authorization. For those graduating and moving off to college, this can make it especially difficult for parents to help if something goes wrong.
That’s why Borchers Cusano Trust Law is partnering with Medfield and Montrose High Schools to host a Young Adult Document Signing Day open house at our Medfield office, 266 Main Street Building 3, Suite 25, Medfield, MA 02052, on Thursday, May 21, from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.
Our firm will provide four essential legal documents, required witnessing, and complimentary notarization to help you and your young adult prepare for this important milestone. The four documents will include:
- Durable Power of Attorney: granting power to another person for financial and legal matters.
- Health Care Proxy: granting power to another person in health care matters.
- HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) release: enabling parents to talk to their children’s medical providers and insurance company about their child’s coverage.
- FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act): enabling parents to access college records.

Schools, parents, and students regularly report that these documents provide them with peace of mind and help prepare them for independence. We strive to empower young adults while ensuring that their families can continue to support them during college and early adulthood.
Contact our team if you have any questions about these documents or your child’s legal transition to young adulthood.
