Pre-paid Legal Plans- What Services Are Offered?
Thinking about a pre-paid legal plan? He’s a summary of the services you’re
most likely to get and also some legal documents you need to sign before you
enroll.
Telephone and Office Consultation: You have infinite telephone access to a
panel of lawyers regarding any legal matter of interest to you. You can also
make brief consultation visits to your lawyer for up to thirty minutes a day
at no cost to you.
The single restriction placed on these two benefits is that you inquire
about a different legal issue.
This aspect of coverage provided by legal plans is one of the most
beneficial because it promotes preventive law. Preventive law is very
similar to preventive medicine – it assists in anticipating potential
problems and taking the appropriate legal steps so that unnecessary legal
problems or risks are avoided. With a simple phone call to your lawyer you
can avoid getting tangled in a hellish legal situation, and you may even
identify legal rights you didn’t even know you had.
Follow-Up Service: The panel of lawyers will make phone calls and write
letters on your behalf to hostile third parties. Such follow-up service may
be what it takes to answer many of your legal problems.
Legal document review: Basic personal legal documents, such as your leases,
sales contracts, and insurance policies will be reviewed. Any questions of
legal nature that you have about the documents will also be answered by your
attorney.

your property issued after your death. Your attorney will draft your will
according to your state’s laws so that it’s valid when you die. They will
also advise you on any other issues you might want to consider, such as
appointing a guardian and establishing a trust.
Deals on regular fees: Any additional services not covered in the written
fee agreement will be at normal price – either hourly or flat – with a
discount between 20 to 30%. These services generally include family matters,
such as divorce and the custody of children, and court representation, such
