Estate Planning for Young Adults

Do you have a college-age or young adult child?  If so, we encourage you to have a conversation with them about who they’d like to make decisions on their behalf (both medical and financial) if they’re unable to do so themselves.  Once a child turns 18, a parent is no longer able to make decisions for them.

Hassett & George is pleased to offer a Young Adult Estate Planning Package that can be customized for the young adult in your life.

Examples of what can be included:

  • Appointment of Health Care Representative – Allows your young adult to select someone to make health care decisions on their behalf if they’re unable to make decisions on their own.
  • Durable Power of Attorney – Allows your young adult to select someone to make financial decisions on their behalf if they’re unable to do so on their own.
  • HIPAA Waiver – Allows your young adult to give you permission to talk with their doctors and insurance companies.
  • Living Will – Allows your young adult to put in writing whether they want to receive life-supporting treatments should they become incapacitated.

How It Works

Step 1. Email us to set up a 30-minute Design Meeting with to talk through the options. Virtual and in-person meetings are available.

Step 2. We’ll prepare the documents.

Step 3. Your young adult can sign the documents at a time that’s convenient for them.
