College Student Patient Advocate Designations

As your high school graduate heads to college, you’ll stock dorm essentials, share advice—and consider one crucial safeguard: a Patient Advocate Designation prepared by a Michigan attorney.

Hospitals follow strict rules that can delay care or override personal wishes. If your 18-year-old falls ill or is injured and can’t speak for themselves, the hospital may require court approval—slowing critical decisions—unless a trusted advocate is already designated.

With this tool, your adult child can name you as their advocate, giving you authority only when necessary. It protects their independence while ensuring quick decisions in an emergency.

• Protect Your Student: Speak for them immediately if they cannot. 
• Trusted Expertise: Prepared by a Michigan attorney at Thomas Legal, PLLC. 
• Affordable & Simple: Only $295 for peace of mind as they start college. 

*No attorney–client relationship is created unless and until we both sign a written engagement agreement.
