Young Adult Incapacity Plan for Massachusetts College Students
It’s an exciting time, an opportunity to flex your independence and make important decisions on your own.
Of course, not all of these decisions are easy. Some things you don’t want to think about at all, like the possibility of having a serious accident that requires emergency medical care.
Now that you are legally an adult, the law prohibits your parents from making health care decisions for you. It also prevents them, as well as your siblings and friends, from getting information about your condition in an emergency.
For Massachusetts families, these documents can be especially important before a student leaves for college, studies away from home, travels, or starts managing more of their own medical and financial decisions.
That’s why we created the Young Adult Incapacity Plan. It’s an affordable, convenient way to get the three key legal documents every adult needs. For just $500 you will receive a customized Health Care Proxy, HIPAA Release, and Power of Attorney. You can also learn more about why a HIPAA release matters for young adults, the role of a health care proxy for young adults in Massachusetts, and why a college student may need an estate plan.
The 3 Legal Documents Young Adults Need in an Emergency
- A person you trust to handle your financial accounts for you if you can’t
- Who can get information about your medical condition in an emergency
- A person you trust to make medical decisions for you if you are incapacitated
Health Care Proxy
A Health Care Proxy lets the young adult name a trusted person to make health care decisions if a clinician determines the young adult cannot make those decisions.
HIPAA Authorization
A HIPAA Authorization permits named people to receive medical information, which can help parents or trusted supporters communicate with providers during an emergency.
Durable Power of Attorney
A Durable Power of Attorney lets a trusted agent help with financial or practical matters if the young adult is unavailable or incapacitated.
Why Parents and Students Should Plan Before an Emergency
Without these documents, you will have no control over the medical care you receive, who makes medical decisions for you, and who can learn about your medical condition. Also, without these documents, the court will very likely need to get involved, which is very time-consuming and stressful.

What Our Clients Say
My estate attorney suggested this program which helps you create a Health Care Proxy, HIPAA Release, and Power of Attorney for your wonderful, adventurous, quasi-adult. It didn't take long at all and was a huge relief for both my daughter and me to know that I can still jump in and do the mom stuff when she wants or needs me to.
As an aside, I'd also recommend them very highly for anything related to estate planning or elder law. Tiffany and the rest of her team are so knowledgeable and kind and go out of their way to put you at ease while helping you prepare for things you might not want to really think about."
