Life scenario

You’re a parent of minor children

Caring for a child is not only everyday life, but also a legal and medical responsibility.

In emergencies, time and access to the right documents matter - this is especially important for treatment, education or official matters. Having access to the necessary documents and information at the right time can spare you and your child stress in a crisis, and in some situations it may even affect their health and life.

From the expert

„Every parent has good intentions, but the law requires specifics - documents, consents, powers of attorney. In emergencies it is not feelings but, unfortunately, these that decide who may act on the child’s behalf."
- Paweł Blajer, attorney-at-law, PhD, estate-planning specialist
