LegalShield Prepares Wills Within Five Days!

August is National Make a Will Month, and after the last few years it serves as a strong reminder to us all how important a will can be. Shockingly though it is not common for people to have a will prepared.

Regardless of age, gender, and demographic, everyone needs a will. A will can ensure your estate, children, pets, and finances are handled with responsible care. When you consider the value that a will provides to an employee and their family, there is no question the need for employers to offer a legal plan that includes will preparation. However, not all legal plans are created equal.

LegalShield can provide the preparation of a will, living will and power of attorney for both the plan participant and their spouse. Wills can cost $1,000 or more to create and the yearly cost of a LegalShield plan will pay for itself with just the creation of a will. Once all information is received from the participant, their dedicated LegalShield Provider Law Firm will prepare and mail their will to review within five business days.

To help employers educate their employees on the importance of preparing their will, LegalShield offers virtual will workshops hosted by a LegalShield provider lawyer and can also provide supporting educational content.

To learn more about will preparation, please contact contact Cheryl.

Protect Employees’ Identity and Legal Rights After a Natural Disaster

National disasters are on the rise across the United States, from violent storms and flooding to heat waves and wildfires. Earlier this summer Montana and Wyoming experienced massive flooding that destroyed bridges, swept away homes, and forced the evacuation of more than 10,000 visitors from Yellowstone National Park. While half a million households in the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley lost power after violent thunderstorms, the pacific northwest experienced wildfires.

This year’s wildfire season continues to be devastating yet again and active wildfires continue to surge and have burned more than 1 million acres across six states. With hurricane season approaching, it is also expected we will have an above-normal season.

In the wake of a natural disaster, the need for an attorney may be the last thing on anyone’s mind. However, disasters pose a great deal of legal issues and increase the risk for identity theft. 

For more information on how a legal and identity theft plan can help in the wake of a natural disaster, please contact Cheryl.
