Shield Their Finances
Grants a designated person the authority to manage the financial affairs on your behalf of a person. This may include handling bank accounts, paying bills, managing investments and conducting other financial transactions.
It helps ensure that financial matters are taken care of if the person becomes unable to manage them on their own due to illness or incapacity.
Financial Power of Attorney

Save Their Education
FERPA is a U.S. federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. It grants students the right to access their records, request amendments and have some control over the disclosure of their information. By ensuring these rights, FERPA helps students maintain privacy and control over their educational information.
Because of this layer of protection for adult students, it can also have a downside. Students may want guidance and support with financial matters. In the case they do, they may use the FERPA consent agreement.
