What You Don't Know Can Hurt You
There are two services you really need to have these days, especially, if you are a real estate investor, and even if you aren't.
First, everyone needs access to legal counsel. You say you don't need this? Really? Have you ever signed a contract of any kind? Do you have a will? Is it up to date? Have you ever had a traffic ticket? How about a living will or medical power of attorney? Have you ever had a traffic accident? Have you ever been audited by the IRS? Have you ever had a question about any legal matter and just wanted to find out your rights?
Clearly everyone needs access to legal counsel. The wealthy talk with their attorneys all the time, so why not you? Most people avoid getting legal advice because they think it would cost too much or they don't know who to call, so they try to handle it themselves.
So what if you could pick up the phone talk to an attorney, get your legal questions answered, and not get a bill in the mail, would you?
That service exists today through a company called LegalShield. For as little as $20 a month, a LegalShield plan gives you the ability to talk to an experienced attorney about any legal matter without worrying about high hourly costs. That's less per year than one hour of most attorneys' time.
From real estate to divorce advice, speeding tickets to will preparation and more, LegalShield attorneys will help with any matter-no matter how trivial or traumatic.
In addition to the Family Plan, LegalShield has plans for small businesses and their employees.
Mary Jane and I have had LegalShield, protecting us since 2009. It has saved us not only money but time. We've used them for document review, help with contracts, they've written letters on our behalf, and so much more.
In fact, last fall, I received a speeding ticket. I could just see the $100+ dollar fine, court costs, points on my license and therefore increased auto insurance costs. Not to mention the time required to appear in court if I wanted to have any chance of mitigating the fines. I just felt sick about it all.
Then I remembered we had LegalShield, and moving traffic violation benefits are included. I called LegalShield and they assigned an attorney who went to court for me. Bottom line, no fine, only court costs, no points on my license, no bill from the attorney, and best of all I didn't have to go to court.
Second, your identity is yours and yours alone. Everyone deserves the right to have their identity protected. Did you know that identity theft is one of the most prolific crimes in the United States and the world? During the last few years two major retailers that we shop at, Target, Home Depot, and our medical insurance providers were hacked.
Many people ignore this issue, hope it doesn't affect them or think that if they shred all documents with personal information they are protected. At best some people have a credit bureau monitoring service.
While a monitoring service sounds like it is enough, what happens if you become a victim of identity theft? You will also need professional advice and most importantly, comprehensive restoration.
There are many types of identity theft, not just financial. Some of the most common are social security, drivers license, criminal, income tax, and, in my mind scariest of all, medical identity theft.
Even children's identities are being stolen. The trouble is they probably won't find out about it until they apply for college, go to get credit, apply for a security clearance, buy auto insurance, or some other life event.
LegalShield also offers one of the industry's most affordable and powerful identity theft plans.
Members have access to licensed investigators skilled in identity theft monitoring and restoration. And our identity theft plan protects the entire family for the cost other plans charge to cover a single individual.
Mary Jane and I have had this service since 2009.
I have a friend whose identity was stolen years ago and it took him years to get it cleaned up. However, he still occasionally has issues related to this theft. That's why it is so important to have a service that provides comprehensive identity restoration services as part of your plan.
I will leave you with this one thought. Mary Jane and I have the LegalShield family plan, identity theft plan, and a small business plan. It is the best investment in our future that we make every month.
In the spirit of full disclosure, we are independent associates for LegalShield because we believe in it so much. This doesn't change the fact that these are must-have services for individuals, families, and small businesses. If you'd like to enroll or learn more, click here to go to our website.
