The Young Adult Legal Essentials (YALE) Plan

They turned 18.
Now you are legally a stranger.

If your college student has a medical emergency in Missouri, doctors cannot legally talk to you without these documents.

The “18th Birthday” Reality Check

Most parents assume that because they pay the tuition or carry the insurance, they still have control. They don’t. Here is what the law actually says:

THE MYTH
“I pay their tuition, so the school will send me their grades.”
REALITY: FERPA laws block your access completely.
THE MYTH
“They are on my insurance, so the doctor will talk to me.”
REALITY: HIPAA laws prevent doctors from speaking to you.
THE MYTH
“I am their parent, so I can make emergency decisions.”
REALITY: Not without a Durable Power of Attorney.

The Solution: The YALE Plan

We solve this problem with a single Missouri-specific legal package. One flat fee covers all five essential documents.

1. Durable Power of Attorney

Allows a designated parent to handle financial affairs if the student is incapacitated.

2. Healthcare Power of Attorney

Appoints you as the agent to make medical decisions if they cannot speak for themselves.

3. HIPAA Release

The “Medical Key.” Ensures doctors can legally discuss conditions and treatments with you.

4. Living Will

Clarifies end-of-life wishes, removing the burden of difficult choices from the family.

5. FERPA Release

The “Education Key.” Grants permission to access university records and grades.

Peace of Mind for One Flat Fee

Avoid the cost of emergency guardianship hearings ($5,000+) later.
