A Parent Sanity Kit For Athens Parents of Graduating Seniors

Do you have a graduating senior or know someone who does?

If so, you’ll want to pay VERY close attention to this information!

While your teen may still be your “baby,” did you know he or she is now considered an ADULT in the eyes of the law?

This means that if your teen has an accident while away on summer break or while off at college, you will likely be barred from getting information or making decisions about their care because of HIPAA laws. HIPAA laws also apply to financial matters and legal situations.

You can’t even call the financial aid office at your child’s school without his or her permission. It’s that serious!

Fortunately, there’s a work-around and it’s something that EVERY parent of an unmarried child 18 or older should have in place.

We call it our Parent Sanity Kit — consisting of a Power of Attorney, Advance Health Care Directives and HIPAA forms, which allow you to maintain control and stay involved in an emergency.

By having these legal documents in place for your child, all you have to do is present them to the necessary party (hospital, police, school, etc.) and you’ll be able to immediately speak on your child’s behalf. There’s no greater peace of mind than knowing you can stay in control and make critical decisions if necessary!

As a graduation special, we are offering our Parent Sanity Kit for just $350.

To learn more about our special, simply call us at (770) 425-6060. Don’t wait another day to protect your child as he or she enters into the critical adult years.

P.S. Please share this with anyone you may know that has a child over 18. He or she may not be graduating, but still desperately needs this protection to ensure mom or dad can act on his or her behalf in an emergency! We’re happy to extend the special pricing for any family that comes in before June 30th.
