Before you go any further let me be clear.  I know what you may be thinking:  These services appears to be unnecessary. And you are correct, BUT only until you or someone else in your family is stopped or pickedup by the police or your identity or someone else in your family is hacked or God forbid, when something Bad Bappens within your family.  When something unexpected happens, who would you call?

Most families don't have a lawyer in their family and if they did chances are they specilies in an area of law that is different from what you need at that moment. They don't have an identity-theft professional they can turn to your identity is hacked.

Dispite this up to 77% of Americans consider legal protection under the law to be an extremely important right.

Approximately 56% of American adults have no estate planning adults documents.  And only about 24% to 26% have a will.  However, because homeownership is a major catalyst for financial planning, homeowners tipically holds plans at a slightly higher rate than the general population.  I hope this includes you!

  Approximately 73% of adults states that estate planning is important, BUT procrastating (43%) and a lack of education on how to start (40%) remains as the primary reasons why people avoid it. I hope that’s not you!

That's why we created our Family Protection Packages.

Instead of approaching these important needs separately, we've brought them together into one coordinated protection strategy.

Your Lawyer. Your Identity. Your Legacy Plan.

One Strategy.

Already know what you're looking for?

Skip the explanation and go directly to our three Family Protection Packages:

PkgA - PkgB - PkgC

THE FAMILY PROTECTION SYSTEM

Think of your family's protection as having three layers.

1. LEGAL PROTECTION

Your “Pocket Lawyer”

What happens when you suddenly have a legal question?

A traffic issue?

A contract problem?

A consumer dispute?

A run in with ICE?

A problem with a contractor?

A problem with your Auto Machanic?

An urgent legal situation involving your family?

Instead of searching the internet for an attorney after the problem occurs, your Legal Plan gives you access to legal assistance according to the terms and benefits of your membership.  Immediately!

Think of it as having a “Pocket Lawyer” available when legal questions arise.

Know before you act.

2. IDENTITY PROTECTION

Identity theft can become much more than someone stealing a credit-card number.  It can involve your credit, bank accounts, Social Security information, tax records, medical identity, personal information and potentially even property-related fraud.  Yes! Houses are being stolen!

The objective is simple:

Don't Be the Lowest-Hanging Fruit.

You cannot eliminate every risk.

But you can make yourself better prepared to detect, respond to and recover from problems when they occur.

That's what Identity protection is about.

3. ESTATE & LEGACY PROTECTION

Your Revocable Living Trust

If you own a home or other significant assets, one of the most important questions you can ask is:

“What happens to everything I've worked for when I'm no longer here?”

A properly prepared and funded Revocable Living Trust can be an important part of an estate plan designed to:

• Help qualifying assets avoid probate… (You must avoid probate at all cost).
• Provide instructions for managing and distributing trust property.
• Make incapacity planning easier.
• Provide continuity in the management of trust assets.
• Give your family clearer instructions regarding your wishes.

A properly structured estate plan can also provide an additional layer of organization and control around your property.

However, no Living Trust or estate-planning document can guarantee prevention of deed fraud or other forms of property theft.  But again, they help you from being … the lowest hanging fruit!

The goal is protection, preparation and control.

WHY PUT ALL THREE TOGETHER?

Because life doesn't separate your problems into neat little categories.

A legal problem can become a financial problem.

Identity theft can become a legal problem.

Poor estate planning can become a family problem.

And a family problem can quickly become an expensive legal problem.

That's why we believe protection should work together.

Legal Protection + Identity Protection + Estate & Legacy Protection

That's our Family Protection System.

THE BIGGEST REASONS PEOPLE PUT OFF THESE PROTECTIONS

From our experience, three answers come up repeatedly:

1. “I'll get around to it.”

That's procrastination. We already talked about that.

Unfortunately, we haven't discovered a cure for that one yet!

2. “They are too expensive.”

That’s more a question of, “The More You Know or The Less You Know.”

Many people assume they must spend thousands of dollars before they can establish a comprehensive Legal, Identity Theft and Estate Plan.  And in most cases that’s true.  BUT Before you make that assumption, compare your options. Or just call us! 

3.  “I really don’t need all this.”

After what you have already learned you still think you don’t need these services, it’s O. K. what we are offering here may not be for you … 

BEFORE YOU SPEND THOUSANDS DO A BIT OF DUE DILLIGANCE …

Call your local bill-board attorney and asked if they can help you with any legal matter, or an and identity theft matter or an estate-plan. Chances are they will tell you that they only work with auto accident cases, criminal cases or maybe estate planning matters and nothing else.  Also, be prepared to spend hours on this search process.

Depending upon your circumstances, attorney, location and complexity of your estate, a Family Protection Plan could reach into the thousands.

There's nothing necessarily wrong with paying those fees when the situation requires it.

But why pay more before finding out whether you need to or not?

If you had one of our Pocket Lawyers with you all you would need to do is call one of the two phone numbers that we will provide you, (One for normal matters and one for immediate and emergency matters), and within short order you will be intouch with an attorney, (Your Pocket Lawyer).   

That's where one of my favorite Back Door Secrets comes in.  It’s all about knowing!

Here's something I've learned over the years:

The advertised or commonly expected way of owning something isn't always the most cost-effective way to get what you need.

Cars * Insurance *Travel * Professional services.

Legal services can be no different.

So I'm going to show you another door.

This “Back Door Secret” isn't about cutting corners.

It's about knowing your options before spending your money.

Through the LegalShield/PPLSI provider system and the available plan benefits, qualifying members may be able to obtain valuable legal and estate-planning services at a substantially different cost structure than simply hiring an attorney independently.

Before you spend thousands elsewhere, compare what you're getting — and what you're paying.

TWO CONVERSATIONS THAT GOT MY ATTENTION

These aren't hypothetical situations. They happened to people close to me.

PERSON #1: A friend told me he had paid approximately $1,900 for his Living Trust.

Later, when he wanted to make changes, he discovered that his attorney had passed away and another law firm had taken over the attorney's cases.

His situation reminded me of something important:

Estate planning isn't just about creating documents.

It's also about what happens after the documents are created.

PERSON #2: Another person also close to me told me he had already spent approximately $1,200 having his name added to his aging father's home deed. And he still needed to address the family's estate planning.

Note:  Adding someone to a deed can sometimes create unintended legal, ownership, creditor, tax or estate-planning consequences.

Before changing ownership of real property, talk with a qualified attorney and, where appropriate, a tax professional.

A decision made today to “save money” can become an expensive problem tomorrow.

Know before you act.

AS OF THIS PRINTING THERE ARE FOUR (4) MAJOR PROVIDES OFFERING BUNDELED PROTECTION

They are as follows:

LegalShield - Pairs comprehensive personal legal memberships (covering family law, traffic tickets, and document review) with standard will preparation/estate planning and bundled IDShield coverage for full identity and credit monitoring.

MetLife Legal Plans - Frequently offered through employers, these plans cover a broad spectrum of needs including estate planning (wills and trusts), family law, real estate transactions, and dedicated identity theft defense/restoration

U. S. Legal Services - Offers tiered plans like Family Defender for comprehensive legal representation combined with Identity Defender for SSN alerts, financial monitoring, and identity restoration.

Legal Club of America - Provides group legal and voluntary benefits that package unlimited legal consultations, basic will/estate forms, and preventative identity theft monitoring.

ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH, (I Recommend you do your own.)

LegalShield: IS Best for Direct Individuals & Fast Digital Access

If you are buying a plan on your own, LegalShield generally ranks the highest for overall user accessibility and smooth daily transactions.

• Why it’s easy: LegalShield has invested heavily in its mobile app. You can tap a button to upload a photo of a traffic ticket, upload a legal document for review, or launch a request to begin your estate planning questionnaire.
• The Lawyer Network: LegalShield operates a proprietary network. Instead of handing you a directory of hundreds of solo attorneys to call yourself, LegalShield assigns exactly one designated, vetted provider law firm to your entire state. When you call, you reach a centralized intake desk that routes you to the correct lawyer, eliminating the trial-and-error of cold-calling lawyers.
• Identity Integration: Because they own IDShield, your identity protection and legal protection live inside the same interconnected ecosystem, making account management simple.

NOW LET'S TALK NUMBERS

Suppose you are considering paying thousands of dollars directly to an attorney for an overall Family Protection Package.

Now compare that with LegalShield’s available Family Protection Packages.

Depending upon the package and services selected, you may be able to combine:

Legal Plan Benefits + Identity Theft Protection

+ A Revocable Living Trust (Total Estate-Planning Services)

All for considerably less than you might expect to pay when purchasing comparable services separately.

That's the comparison I want you to make.

When doing your research don’t ask:

“Is this cheap?” Instead Ask: “What am I getting for my money?”

We've designed three packages intended to address the needs of most individuals and families.

PkgA - PkgB - PkgC

NOT SURE WHICH PACKAGE IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

Don't guess.

And don't buy something simply because someone told you that you need it.

Talk with us first!  Or talk with someone else first. Your choice! We say talk with us first because we are confident that if you call us first, you will not see the need to call anyone else. We'll explain the available packages so you can decide which option makes sense for your situation.

No pressure.

Get the information. Compare the value. Then make your decision.  Or make no decision… the choice is yours.

Nothing on this page should be interpreted as individualized legal or tax advice.

PPS:  Legal Shield Plans & Pricing (legalshield.com). You may be wondering how am I able to offer you these same services at a reduced price.  The answer is this:

I have an associate contract agreement with LegalShield, https://dowdynson.legalshieldassociate.com / pull up both websites and place thim side by side.  At my website click on  membership > Legal (Note pricing.) / On LegalShield’s website click on pricing.  Review Basic, Advanced and Premium on both websites.  You will notice that everything is the same.

What does this mean!

My associate contract agreement with LegalShield allows me to offer their services at a discount and still receive payment.  They can do this because I save them the cost of advertising because I do advertising for them.  AKA the cost of doing business.  Note:  My agreement is a lifetime deal and as long as I uphold my part in an honorable manner and maintain my membership our relationship will be good!  And even if I retire, (not likely), your membership will be the same as if you awn it directly from the company or through me aor any one of a thousand other LegalShield associate like me.
