When Your Child Turns 18, You Lose More Legal Ground Than You'd Think

Every summer, Tulsa families send a son or daughter off to college, a first apartment, or a new job. It's easy to get wrapped up in packing lists and move-in dates and forget one thing: the day your child turns 18, you lose the legal authority to make decisions on their behalf.

Geoff Wiszneauckas spoke with Tulsa World about why a Power of Attorney deserves a spot on every family's back-to-school checklist, not just an estate plan built for retirement.

If your young adult is in a car accident or lands in the hospital, doctors and banks answer to the paperwork, not to the fact that you raised them.

The feature walks through who should be named, when to have the conversation, and why a document built for your family holds up better than a free form pulled off the internet.

We listen, we guide, we steward, and for a lot of families, this is the conversation they keep putting off. If your young adult is heading out the door this summer, a complimentary 90-minute consultation is the easiest way to get it done right.
