Legal assistance may not be a service you think you could need at a moment's notice. Most of us think of legal assistance in connection with a criminal offense, or a civil case where one party is suing another. Actually, most of the legal work done in America is for people facing much more ordinary circumstances.
Most Americans have a need for legal services on a regular basis. There are things we do every day that it would be best if we consulted a legal opinion about before we proceeded; and there are important legal matters we should take care of that are put off due to either being unsure who to talk to or fear of the expense it might incur. Here are just a few examples of what a Pre-Paid Legal Life Events plan can help you with:
* Wills and estate planning. Having your affairs in order not only ensures that your wishes are carried out, it relieves a great burden from your loved ones at the same time. Seventy percent of Americans do not have a will.
* Power of attorney. If you become incapacitated for any reason, for any length of time, you will want your affairs in competent hands.
* Contract settlements. This can involve anything from appliance warranties, to cell phone contracts, or purchasing big ticket items like a new car. You should never sign an agreement of any kind without having it reviewed by a competent attorney specializing in that particular field.
* Identity theft. This is the fastest growing white collar crime in America. These days your information is everywhere; job applications, credit applications, online purchases, and on and on. It is the perhaps the easiest way for you to lose all your assets.
* General disputes. Maybe it's with your neighbor over property lines, your landlord over terms of your lease, or an unreturned deposit. There are a lot of everyday issues where a letter or phone call from your attorney would resolve it in your favor very quickly.
It's easy to see how you might find yourself in a situation where legal assistance could be helpful if not necessary. The majority of people however, go without legal advice for the simple reason that they feel they cannot afford it. They know the top ten percent of income earners can afford legal help and the bottom ten percent have access to legal aid. They feel stuck in the middle and feel they just have to deal with it.
This is where Pre-Paid Legal steps in, with affordable Life Events Legal Plans.
