What our members say about estate planning help

"LegalShield provides prompt, prudent service. Their rates are wonderful and something pretty much unheard of in this day and age. They assisted me with a financial situation which probably would have cost me $1,000 for outside legal services."

FAQ

Do I need a Will or a trust?

A will directs who gets your property and who cares for minor children. A trust can help manage assets during your lifetime and may help your family avoid probate.

Can I talk to a lawyer about estate planning?

Yes. Your membership connects you with a licensed estate planning lawyer to answer questions and review your documents.

How long does it take to complete an estate plan?

Most members complete key documents—Last Will and Testament, Living Will, and power of attorney—in days, not months.

What’s the difference between a Living Will and a Last Will?

A Living Will covers medical wishes while you’re alive. A Last Will and testament covers how your property is distributed after death.
