Estate Planning for Young Adults

Procino-Wells & Woodland, LLC Season 7 Episode 62

When young adults turn 18, parents and guardians lose their legal authority to act on their behalf—a reality that can create serious complications during emergencies or when support is needed. In this essential episode, attorneys Michele Procino-Wells, Esq. and Amber B. Woodland, Esq. guide young adults through the critical process of establishing a Power of Attorney and Advance Health Care Directive.

Michele and Amber break down the practical applications of each document, offer guidance on selecting the right representatives, and share best practices for secure document storage. While specifically designed for young adults navigating this important milestone, this episode provides valuable insights for parents, grandparents, guardians, and anyone involved in supporting young people as they transition to legal independence.
