The Illinois College Protection Package
$197
Hi, I’m Allison Marketti, an Illinois estate planning attorney, bestselling author and mom.
And one of the biggest surprises for many parents is this:
Once your child turns 18, you no longer automatically have the legal ability to make certain medical or financial decisions for them — even in an emergency. That means if your child is away at college, traveling, or simply living independently, hospitals and medical providers may not be able to share information with you without proper authorization.
Recently, I had a mom of 2 in my office. Her son was in a bike accident and when she called the hospital, they would not talk to her. Telling her that because her son was legally an adult (over 18) she needed legal paper work to speak to them.
After that a father told me that he was trying to contact the university to get access to his son's grades and the university refused because his son was over 18+ and legally an adult.
As a mom of 3, I never want a parent to be in this situation. Where they can't talk to their college student's doctors and school.
That’s why I created this Illinois 18+ Protection Package.
Inside, you’ll find Illinois attorney drafted documents specifically for College Students 18+:
- an Illinois Healthcare Power of Attorney,
- an Illinois Property and Financial Power of Attorney,
- a HIPAA Authorization form,
- a College Emergency Organizer
- a Digital Access College Checklist
along with clear instructions to help guide you through the process.
These are documents I believe every Illinois family should consider once a child turns 18.
Now, I do want to mention something important: these documents are designed for relatively straightforward situations and are intended to be completed by you independently. They are not a substitute for individualized legal advice. If your child has special needs, significant assets, mental health concerns, family conflict, or more complex circumstances, I strongly encourage you to speak directly with an attorney about customized planning.
My hope is that these documents provide peace of mind and help your family feel more prepared and protected as your child enters college. Thank you for taking this important step for your family.
