Can you even imagine…?
Your son goes off to college, gets into a very serious car accident and is sent to the ER.
And when you call, frantically, to find out if he’s okay...
Nurse: “How old is your son?”
You: “He just turned 18, he’s in college…”
Nurse: “You do not have the right to speak to the doctor about your son’s conditions.”

If you don’t have the right documentation, and the child is unable to give authorization themselves, then you’re not privy to your adult child’s information.
.
.
Avoid this scary situation by having your 18-year-old fill these out:
🔺 HIPAA authorization
🔺 Medical power of attorney
🔺 Durable power of attorney
Word to the wise? Take screenshots of these documents so they are readily available on your
smartphone.

If I add my child’s name to the title of my house 🏠, wouldn’t that be the easiest way to avoid probate and transfer it quickly after I die?
Short answer: NO!
Here’s the scoop:
You’re running a lot of risk when you do this. Take these into consideration:
❌ Want to sell the house? You’ll have to ask your co-owner (your child) first.
❌ What if your child dies? You could be co-owning a house with your son-in-law.
❌ Want Medicaid? “Gifting” your house may push yourself into the “ineligible” slot.
❌ What about your other kids? This could easily start a family feud.

You can still accomplish your goals AND save your family one giant headache.
This is what we do and we help people with this all the time.

❓ Question: What do they all have in common?
Answer: They died without wills.
.
.
.
Sonny Bono: Died in a skiing accident. Because he didn’t have a will, his estate was placed into
the California probate process. And many (including Cher) chimed in to try to get their own slice.
Pablo Picasso: Thanks to not having a will, it took over six years of bitter negotiations for his
estate to be settled.
Prince: He died years ago and yet, his estate is still unsettled. Why? You guessed it. He didn’t
have a will.
And the list goes on and on.
