The Complete Guide
From form to fully signed in under an hour.
When your child turns 18, you lose automatic legal access to their medical, financial, and academic records. These four documents fix that.
Allows you to talk to your child's doctors and access their medical records. Without this, a hospital cannot confirm your child is even a patient.
Signing
Student signs. No witnesses or notary needed.
Allows you to access your child's academic records — grades, transcripts, financial aid status. Colleges are legally required to keep these private once a student turns 18.
Signing
Student signs. No witnesses or notary needed.
If your child is incapacitated and can't make medical decisions, this document says who decides on their behalf — that's you.
Signing
Student signs. Two witnesses must also sign (not the parents named in the document).
Allows you to manage your child's financial accounts if needed — banking, bills, financial aid. This is the document that requires a notary.
Signing
Student signs in front of an online notary. Takes about 15 minutes.
Here's exactly what happens after you click "Get Started."
Answer a few questions about your family — your child's info, your contact details, and which parent(s) should be named as agents. A guided form, one question at a time. Takes about 10 minutes.
Right after checkout, we fill in all your documents with your family's information. Three of the four are immediately available to download.
Your child receives an email with a link to a short video session with a licensed notary. They'll need a camera, their ID, and about 15 minutes. Can be done from their dorm room.
Once the notary session is complete, all four documents are ready to download as a single PDF or individually — plus a checklist of where to file each one.
Getting them signed is only half the job. They only work if the right people have copies.
Pro tip: Create a shared folder in Google Drive called “[Your Child’s Name] — Legal Docs” and upload photos of all signed documents. Share it with your spouse and your child. This is invaluable if you ever need them quickly.
Get all four documents prepared, signed, and ready in under an hour.
