Preparing Your College Student With Important Health Care Documents


October 30, 2023 Austin DuBois

“When my youngest daughter went away to college, she got into an accident and banged up her head badly enough where she needed surgery. She’s fine now and all is well, but of course as a parent it was an incredibly tough experience. It didn’t help that she was over 18, and like most people her age, didn’t have a formal Health Care Proxy in place. So even as her Dad, dealing with the health care providers was an issue. I’ve known Austin for over 20 years, and he did my own estate plan, so after that experience, I had both my daughters come and do their health care documents with him. While obviously, I hope we never need to use them, at least I know that if something happens, we can manage it to make sure everything ends up for the best.” – Carl B.
