Unlocking the Hidden Value of Legal Plans

Prior to stepping into my role as a representative for a company specializing in legal plans, I had yet to grasp the sheer breadth of life’s circumstances that truly necessitate expert legal guidance. Like many people, I thought of lawyers as professionals you only call in times of dire need, such as criminal charges or major lawsuits. However, my journey into the world of legal plans opened my eyes to the myriad situations in which legal advice can make a significant difference in our lives.

Understanding Legal Plans

First and foremost, it’s crucial to understand what a legal plan is. A legal plan is essentially a subscription-based service that provides access to legal advice and services for various legal issues. These plans cover a wide range of situations, from drafting wills and estate planning to handling real estate transactions, divorce, employment disputes, and more.

My Journey Begins

My journey into the world of legal plans began when I joined a company that offered these services, following a layoff from my previous seven-year position. At first, I had a limited understanding of what this job entailed. I assumed I would be dealing with clients primarily in times of crisis. I soon discovered that legal plans were ingeniously designed to adopt a proactive approach, empowering individuals to avert potential legal issues and adeptly navigate intricate situations long before they evolved into major crises. In fact, while composing this blog post, I reached out to my law firm regarding a specific matter I required advice on and promptly received the essential guidance I was seeking.

Some days, you can’t help but think, “If I’d only known then what I know now”.

Eye-Opening Realizations

  • Estate Planning: One of the most common and important services offered by legal plans is estate planning. I quickly learned that creating a will and making sure your assets are distributed as you wish after your passing is not just for the elderly or the wealthy. It’s for anyone who wants to ensure their loved ones are taken care of and that their wishes are respected.
  • Real Estate Transactions: Buying or selling a home is a significant event in anyone’s life. Legal plans often provide services related to real estate transactions, ensuring that contracts are fair, title searches are conducted, and the process runs smoothly, without costly surprises down the road.
  • Family Law: Family disputes, including divorce and child custody issues, can be emotionally and financially draining. Legal plans can be invaluable in these situations, providing guidance and representation to help clients navigate the complexities of family law while minimizing the emotional toll.
  • Employment Issues: From wrongful termination to workplace discrimination, employment-related legal issues are more common than you might think. Legal plans can provide employees with access to experienced attorneys who can help protect their rights and interests. Moreover, some legal plans can be provided as employee perks, giving employers a way to assist their employees in protecting themselves and cutting down on the time employees spend dealing with legal issues on their own.
  • Identity Theft: Identity theft is a growing concern in our digital age. Many legal plans offer services to help clients navigate the legal challenges that can arise from identity theft, such as restoring their credit and dealing with fraudulent charges.

Becoming a representative for a company that offers legal plans has been an enlightening experience for me. I’ve come to realize that legal advice isn’t just for the courtroom or extreme situations. It’s a valuable resource that can help individuals and families navigate life’s challenges, protect their assets, and ensure their rights are upheld. Legal plans offer a proactive approach to legal issues, helping people prevent problems before they escalate into costly and stressful crises.


If you’re like me and once believed that legal advice was only necessary in the most dire circumstances, I encourage you to reconsider. Legal plans provide an accessible and affordable way to access legal expertise when you need it most, and they can make a world of difference in your life. It’s not just about reacting to legal problems; it’s about being proactive in safeguarding your future and ensuring peace of mind. Take charge of your legal well-being and guarantee peace of mind for both yourself and your loved ones. No need to wait for a crisis to unfold.

SETTLEMENT

Have you been lying to your friends?

Well, it’s making the rounds once again. Friends sending you Facebook messages to warn you that they received another friend request from you.

inkedscreenshot_2019-01-07-08-41-56_li

It’s great to have friends watching your back, isn’t it?!?

The only trouble is, in this case, your friend is most likely LYING to you.

You see, your friend never received a new friend request from you. Nothing is wrong with your account, and no, you haven’t been hacked.

What they did receive was basically a chain letter, with absolutely no value. One that is dangerously counterproductive. One that turns good people into blatant liars.

So please, don’t stop trying to help your friends stay out of trouble, but DO go about it wisely.

Here are a few tips we have for you:

  • Keep your friend list hidden to keep the bad guys from targeting them. Info on how to do that can be found here:Β  Β Protect Your Friends
  • If you’re at all concerned that your account may be compromised, change your password immediately.
  • Be sure your social media accounts are being monitored for privacy risks (personal information, geotagging, etc.) and reputational risks (references to drugs or alcohol, violence, foul language, or other online misconduct). IDShield offers comprehensive monitoring of your most personal data and alerts if someone is trying to use it. (Not to mention industry-leading consultation and full restoration by licensed private investigators if anything happens.) Sign up for IDShield here:Β Protect Yourself
  • DON’T LIE TO YOUR FRIENDS, even if you have the best intentions! WatchΒ The Boy Who Cried Wolf by AesopΒ just in case you need a reminder of the harm that can come from seemingly innocent lies.

 

 

 

Respect my privacy! Please?

Well, it’s that time of year again! The annual privacy notices start coming. Including this one, that many people post thinking it’ll somehow secure their Facebook accounts.

 

FB Privacy notice hoax
By re-posting this ‘notice’, you’re accepting this supposed attorney’s advice. Some ‘attorney’ you don’t know. Some ‘attorney’ who doesn’t have your interests in mind because you’re not their client in the first place. How do you know the advice is sound? Well, you don’t….
Β 
Because this advice is bogus. It’s a hoax, and posting it does nothing but tell the bad guys you’re a good target. Every year it gets circulated, and every year we warn people to check their facts before re-posting.
Β 
But…did you know…IF you were a LegalShield Member, you could, (before blindly accepting the advice of some nameless ‘attorney’), call your Provider Law Firm and ask them about this notice? No matter how trivial your legal concern is, you can call YOUR attorney and get a REAL answer, and NOT worry about getting the bill!
If you’re not a Member yet, give us a call. We’d be happy to help you fix that!
