The best gift for a high school graduate might just be a set of legal documents. Not quite as much fun as a MacBook. But today’s guest post explains why it’s something worth considering.

When you turn 18 in the United States you become a legal adult.

“What this means to each of us is the only individuals that can make financial or health care decisions for us are the individuals we legally appoint. Mommy and Daddy are no longer the legal guardians.” Attorney Linda Chamberlain explains with a wise reminder on why 18+ year olds need certain legal documents in place.
