The big idea
The day you turn 18 your parents lose the legal right to your medical records, college grades, and finances. A simple POA fixes that without giving up your autonomy. AI can explain the 3 documents (medical POA, financial POA, FERPA waiver) and draft them.
Some examples
- Ask ChatGPT for the 3 documents every 18-year-old should sign before college.
- Ask Claude to draft a medical POA template you can take to a notary.
- Ask Gemini what a FERPA release does and how to file it with your college.
- Ask Perplexity for the states with free POA forms online.
Try it!
If you're turning 18 in the next year, ask AI to walk you through the 3 docs and book a notary appointment this month.
