For college students, March may mean basketball tournaments and spring break; for college-bound high school students, March is typically the time to begin thinking with anticipation about college selection decisions. As families begin to plan for their child’s transition into college, there are many practical logistics to consider. One such item that should be on the top of the list is to ensure they are prepared to be on their own from a legal perspective. At Mason, Griffin & Pierson, we offer a program to counsel college students and their parents in such matters. To find out more, or to obtain information about scheduling a consultation, click here.
