You may have purchased a warranty at the same time you purchased your car. It only makes sense to have something to protect you against damages for a given amount of time, and the warranty may cover up to three years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. You also may be offered the possibility of buying a service contract. This again seems sensible for added protection, but is it really? There are certain qualities of a service contract you may not be aware exist. Having an attorney from a group legal plan go over the contract can save a lot of time and trouble. Continue reading

Legal help can end the Trouble

Two words, “meets criteria” can be a warning of a sizable headache on the way. Government programs are available to the public, but many have a criteria qualification which needs to be met.

Processing a Dispute can be Complicated

People look forward to spring as a time to clean up the property. That can be landscaping or just mowing the lawn. Some people unfortunately find a nasty surprise in their mailbox about their property. It may be a notice that their property has been reassessed and that the taxes are going up. Another nasty note may come from the lender, saying that the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) has designated the neighborhood as a high-risk flood zone.

Employees in new locations may be renting an apartment or house, and have to deal with rental agreements and leases.

The result can be disputes over leases and rental agreements that can be very frustrating. These documents also require an employee to be away from the office and that disrupts business.

Contract Review Service

“Get it in writing” is very sound advice. The days of a handshake are long gone and a person needs to have a document specifying obligations and expectations in many situations. That is pretty much the heart of a contract, and these types of legal documents are used for any number of arrangements. The language of a contract is mystifying to an awful lot of people. It is very easy to get lost in the jargon of the phrases. Contract review is something that a good group legal plan has as a benefit. It is something that a Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services plan will offer.
