862 - School's...Out...for Summer!

Are you singing along yet?

As the summer season unfolds, I extend my warmest wishes to everyone, regardless of age or schooling, for a delightful and memorable summer filled with joy and relaxation.

May the warmer months bring you happiness and cherished experiences.

As you gear up for vacations or prepare to send a child to college, remember to make sure you're legally ready.

Call your lawyer for advice if you have been treated unfairly by a rental car service, airline, hotel or other service you use on vacation.

A quick tip on rental vehicles: always photograph your rental car's dashboard—it saved me from being overcharged for the amount of gas in the tank!

Remember, your college-bound child, now an adult, should have a Living Will, medical directives, and power of attorney in place.

Without these important documents in place, the state will make decisions on your child's behalf because, as an adult, they must designate who can make decisions for them.

A mother rushed to her son's side after his roommates called to tell her that he had an adverse reaction to prescribed medication. Despite knowing his medical history, the hospital prevented her from making decisions since her son hadn't legally authorized her.

Stay proactive and organized to enjoy peace of mind during these important transitions.

Everyone has legal situations every day. We aren't aware of them until something goes wrong.

Be summer-ready by discussing your legal options with your lawyer before you leave for vacation or send your child to college.

Do you have plans to travel this summer?
