Buying a laptop, mini refrigerator, and bedding may be on your list of things to do before your child heads off to college, but consider this: you are not sending a child away; you are sending a legal adult.
Since your child is now 18, you may be paying the tuition bill, but your access to information and decision-making is now limited. While your child may be miles away, the college may not allow you to access health care information, educational records, and grades. You also may not learn about disciplinary issues before it is too late to remedy them.
However, various legal documents can help ensure that the college will communicate with you and that you will have access to your child’s educational and medical information. Call us at Laddey Clark & Ryan. We would be happy to help you prepare for FREE the documents you need before your child leaves, so that you can have peace of mind while he or she is away. Now is the time to take action. During August, contact us at trustandestates@lcrlaw.com or call (973) 729-1880 and ask for Laura Litz.
