You just realized your 18-year-old is legally a stranger.
Not to you. But to every hospital, university, and financial institution they’ll ever walk into.
The day they turned 18, the law stopped recognizing you as their parent in the ways that matter most. You can’t access their medical records. You can’t speak to their university. You can’t make a single financial decision on their behalf - even in an emergency.
Most families find this out at the worst possible moment.
This is not that moment. This is the one before it where we quiet the noise and fear.

What We Offer
Indiana Family Readiness Document Set ($149 - Downloadable. Fillable. Done.)
From a former Chief Legal Officer with 20+ years of corporate legal experience and designed so you don’t need one to use it.
This package gives your young adult the legal documents they need, and gives you the access you’d want if everything went sideways.
These documents help you answer:
Who can make medical decisions?
Who can access health information?
Who can access academic records?
Who can act financially if needed?
WhY this exists
I spent two decades as a corporate attorney reading the fine print on contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars (or more).
I also watched smart, prepared parents (including my own) get blindsided by something no one told them about — the legal cliff their child walks off the moment they turn 18. As a mom of a soon to be 18yo myself, this was something on my mind.
This document set exists because you shouldn’t need to hire expensive counsel to get basic protections in place. And because families I know don’t have time to figure out what they don’t know.
For Indiana residents or students going to an Indiana based university only. For individual, one-time personal use. Individuals with unique circumstances should consult with counsel.
