Benefits: Peace of Mind for Parents: Knowing your child's affairs will be handled by someone you trust during challenging times. Empowerment for Young Adults: They choose who makes decisions, ensuring their wishes are respected. Reduced Stress for Everyone: Clear legal documentation avoids unnecessary delays and complications.
