“We initially enrolled for LegalShield to get our Will done. We have a special needs son so it was important to lay out all details for his care in case something happened to my husband and me. That was three years ago. I never thought I’d use this plan as much as I have. Now, my son is legally an adult, and he has a special needs trust thanks to the LegalShield lawyers. The lawyers helped us decide on a continuing education program for him and protected his rights in a situation last year with his first employer. The lawyers represented my husband on a traffic ticket we didn’t think he deserved … and it was dismissed! They’ve reviewed about 15 various contracts for us and have provided priceless advice and guidance through some tough decisions. Having an impartial set of eyes and ears for guidance through all our life events is worth far more than the cost of this plan, but also having access to thousands of dollars worth of legal services and benefits at no extra cost? It’s an amazing value.”

Get your Affairs in Order!
Is your house in order?
This is info if you live in the US but a lot of it is good to think about if you live in Canada:)
Make sure all bank accounts have direct beneficiaries. The beneficiary need only go to the bank with your death certificate and an ID of their own.
- TOD = Transfer On Death deed if you own a home. Completing this document and filing it with your county saves your heirs THOUSANDS. This document allows you to transfer ownership of your home to your designee. All they need to do is take their ID and your death certificate to the county building and the deed is signed over. Doing this will avoid the home having to go through probate.
- Living Will: Allows one to put in writing exactly what you want done in the event you cannot speak for yourself when it comes to healthcare decisions
- Durable Power of Attorney: Allows one to designate a person to make legal decisions if one is no longer competent to do so.
- Power of Attorney for Healthcare: This document allows one to designate someone to make healthcare decisions for their person.
- Last Will and Testament: Designates to whom personal belongings will go too.
- Funeral Planning Declaration: allows one to say exactly one’s wishes as far as disposition of the body and the services.
- Make a list of all banks and account numbers, all investment institutions with account numbers, lists of credit cards, utility accounts, etc. Leave clear instructions as to how and when these things are paid. Make sure heirs knows where life insurance policies are located.
- Make 100% sure SOMEONE knows your Apple ID, bank ID account logins and passwords!
- Make sure you have titles for all vehicles, campers, etc!
- MOST IMPORTANTLY!!!! - Talk with those closest to you and make all your wishes KNOWN. Talk to those whom you’ve designated, as well as those close to you whom you did not designate. - Do this to explain why your decisions were made and to avoid any lingering questions.
Hope this helps! Hope this lights a spark to encourage all my friends and family to take care of these things to make it easier for those we’ll leave behind!
*** I am NOT an attorney. My hope is that the above list at least helps you start an important conversation with your loved ones.
An attorney/lawyer can help you complete all the necessary steps and it’s included in our membership!
We can help, message me if you have questions.

From a friend in our business:

"I've owned a home and paid for homeowners insurance for over 20 years and have never used it ... but I'm not going to cancel it.

I've paid for medical insurance for almost 20 years, and with a $10,000 deductible, I've never gotten one penny of value out of it ... but I won't cancel it.

I've paid into automobile insurance for almost 30 years and haven't caused a single accident ... but I won't cancel it.

I've paid into life insurance for over 20 years and, believe it or not, I haven't gotten any value from it ... but I won't cancel it.

I've had Legalshield for 18 years and I've used it hundreds of times; I used it for things as small as $1.50 (it was the principal), and for lawsuits that were over $1 million (I was an investor in a subdivision that crashed when the economy turned south). LegalShield has reviewed all my contracts and documents before I bought real estate and they have updated my estate plan every time we had a new kid, bought a new car or house, or each time the tax laws changed.

If times got hard and I had to downsize, I'd let every other insurance product I pay for go before I dropped my LegalShield plan, because it's the only thing I get value from every single year.

Every other policy requires me to wait for something catastrophic to happen before I get any value."

48 Years Strong!

Today, LegalShield celebrates its 48th birthday! Our founder, Harland C. Stonecipher, started LegalShield on August 8th, 1972, after a personal experience where he found himself financially unprepared for the legal costs he incurred from an auto accident, even though it wasn’t his fault.

Since then, LegalShield has protected over 4.1 millions lives across U.S. and Canada. IDShield, a division of LegalShield, has provided identity theft protection for over 15 years and protects over 1 million lives.

In 2019, we expanded to the United Kingdom and all Canadian provinces and territories!

Our LegalShield Independent Associates continue the mission to create a world where everyone can access and afford legal protection. We celebrate our history and look forward to the future - the best is yet to come!

An amazing story from one of our Canadian Legalshield members!

Know any Canadians who travel to the U.S.A.? Snow/Sun birds?

~ P. Francis; Ontario, Canada wrote:
"My husband and I enjoy the pleasure of traveling to Florida as Canadian Sun Birds. This year, my husband ended up in hospital. Fully insured, the insurance company told hospital "Yes, go ahead with treatment and just send bills directly to them." Long story short, two nights in hospital cost over $28,000 US, plus $4,000 US in separate bills from doctors and the emergency room. The insurance company asked for 3 years of my husband's medical records from our family doctor, which we thought was odd. Got home to Canada, and then on May 10, received a letter from the insurance company telling us our claim was denied because we had lied on application! I called LegalShield and 45 minutes later our lawyer, Susan, called back - great response time - and after explaining our situation, Susan asked if we'd like her to write a letter for us. We scanned all info to her. On May 17 our letter went to the Appeal Board. On June 1 the insurance company called and told us they will be paying the claim - we had won the appeal. LegalShield helped save us over $32,000 US. Thank you LegalShield."

There's a REALLY good chance the MOST successful people you know consult with their own lawyers / attorneys...
► before making any major personal, professional or financial decisions
► before signing any contracts or documents
► before wasting time dealing with people or companies doing them wrong
► before they would ever ask anyone who is not a lawyer for legal advice

Why? Simple:
1) They don't have to check their bank account before checking their legal rights
2) They understand the VALUE of protecting their assets.

The majority of North Americans have been priced out of the legal system for so long that we've been programmed to ONLY think about using lawyers/attorneys after we're in a legal crisis —
you know, so we're forced to either deal with free legal aid (get what you pay for) or pay top retail prices for a lawyer referral from a friend or a lawyer from the phone book. Right?

Why shouldn't EVERYONE be able to access the system of laws which was designed to protect and serve us all?

LegalShield makes affordable access a reality for all, and they've been doing it since 1972.

Are you aware ...
► up to 80% of folks in some European countries have a legal service plan
► Europe has had legal plans in place for over 100 years
► legal plans are as commonplace in Europe as health insurance is here
► in Germany, you can’t renew your driver’s license without showing proof of your legal plan
► Europe doesn't have the ridiculous litigation issues there like WE have HERE ...because over THERE, everyone has access.

For less than $26. per month, you and your family can have unlimited access to your own top-rated, full-service quality law firm (lawyers who specialize in every area of law, 98% of LegalShield’s Provider Law Firms are A.V. Rated). LegalShield allows you to operate your life - and even your business - like the most successful people you know by using the legal system proactively while you protect your assets, too.

Don't you think you're worth it?
