ANN ARBOR, Mich. - TelAve -- As college-bound students across Michigan prepare for their next big adventure, Pear Sperling Eggan & Daniels, P.C. is urging families to consider a crucial but often overlooked part of that preparation: Powers of Attorney (POAs).

"When a child turns 18, parents lose legal access to their medical and financial information," says Rebecca Harvey, estate planning attorney at Pear Sperling. "Without the proper documents in place, families may find themselves powerless in the face of emergencies."

Medical and Financial Powers of Attorney allow students to authorize trusted individuals—often parents—to step in and help when needed. From making medical decisions in emergencies to managing bills or navigating lease disputes, these legal tools provide vital support.

"Powers of Attorney don't take away independence," Harvey explains. "They empower young adults to plan responsibly and give families peace of mind."
