Your benefits package includes perks that you may not even know about. 😮
Are you familiar with the legal services benefits available to you at U of M? 💼
This underutilized benefit can help you tackle critical tasks like estate planning. 🧩
👇 Here’s why it matters 👇
🛠️ Estate planning is essential
Many U of M employees choose the legal services benefit but then forget to follow through afterward. You’re busy, we get it! ⏰ But it’s important to create key estate documents like a will, power of attorney, or healthcare proxy. These are foundational to ensuring your wishes are carried out and your loved ones are protected.
✅ Low-cost access to attorneys
The U of M legal plan offers access to a network of attorneys at a significantly reduced rate. 📉 This makes it easier for you to complete essential estate planning tasks without breaking the bank. 😳 Remember, it’s important to carefully choose your attorney to ensure they meet your specific needs. 🎯
⚽️ New family law coverage
Starting this year, U of M employees can also use the legal services benefit for family law matters such as guardianship or divorce. 💔 This can be a valuable resource if you’re navigating complex legal situations in your personal life.
🧨 Procrastination is costly
Estate planning is one of those tasks we all know we should do, but it often gets put off. ❌ If you’ve already enrolled in the legal services plan, now is the time to schedule an appointment 🗓️ with an attorney and get these critical documents in place.
