If you have children over 18 years of age, including those attending college, Florida law does not allow you access to their medical, financial or educational records without their express authorization. This can become a major issue in the event of illness or accident.
The issue can be avoided, if, in advance, your child executes a power of attorney and health care surrogate to you. These are documents which we can readily produce for you so that they are effective and legally compliant with Florida law.
Without these documents in place, a college will not discuss your child with you or allow you access to their records. A hospital may not allow you to have access to your child’s medical records or allow you to make medical decisions on their behalf even though you are their parent. Many banks will not even allow you to make deposits for their benefit while they are away at school.
