More than 45 years ago, we opened our doors to protect people and that is still what we do today for millions of individuals and tens of thousands of businesses across the United States and Canada.

Here are just a few of the LegalShield and IDShield success stories that inspire us.

  1. I needed help getting a response from a financial institution that disclosed my Social Security number to someone outside their institution. They were unwilling to speak with me until they received a letter from you guys. Now I have my Social Security number redacted on all current and future documents. Thank you! North Carolina Member, Lindsay V.
  2. [My provider lawyer] was very patient with my questions and concerns. She helped me navigate legal issues that were way out of my comfort zone and I never imagined needing to... It's a huge comfort knowing I can call and ask without worrying about the cost each time I call. Indiana Member.
  3. This is the first time we needed to speak with an attorney since we became members and the experience has been great. The attorney responded quickly and gave us good counsel. I wish I had become a member years ago. There are many times it would have been nice to seek the advice of an attorney, but we did not because of cost. Colorado Member, Shawn C.

We are inspired when we hear stories from our customers and associates! If you have a story where your LegalShield or IDShield membership helped you—whether it was a small matter or a large one—please share it with us.

Dying Without a Will: What Happens to Your Assets?

It’s usually much easier for families to settle an estate with a Will than without one. The term for dying without a Will is intestate.

If you’re trying to settle an intestate estate, consider seeking legal guidance.
