We all have good reason to worry about hacking. It is the most common form of cyber theft and is an industry by itself. Hackers are very sophisticated in the work that they do and pose a very serious threat to financial wellness. It takes more than a standard group legal plan to confront these criminals.

Medical Powers of Attorney Are Critical

Paper, paper, paper. Everything seems to have a form or a document attached to it. Many people don’t bother with certain legal papers because they’re tired of the pile. An example is medical powers of attorney. Not everybody understands the importance but good group legal plans allow for help with this document.

It is important to Have Medical Powers of Attorney

The reason is clarity. Anyone who is the victim of a major car accident or medical disaster might be in a coma. The hospital does not know what this person wants as far as treatment. This can extend to life support systems which do not automatically turn off. The hospital staff is justifiably concerned about any lawsuits and will keep patient on life support indefinitely. That can cause expenses to skyrocket as time goes on. There’s also cost that is highly personal and very emotional. A patient who is near death can linger on life support systems. This causes agony of hope for love ones who pray for America which may never come. At the same time, these people are looking over their shoulders at the possibility of mounting debt. Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services is very familiar with the anxiety and suffering. We have the drafting of medical powers of attorney as a group legal plan benefit. Continue reading

They Have Unique Problemsstockfresh_2776410_senior-adult-couple-going-over-papers-in-their-home-with-agent_sizeS-300x200

 

Senior employees are essential to the financial health of any organization. It is not simply their experience that makes them valuable. These staff members are ordinarily decision-makers, and the organization relies on them for getting things done. Their jobs require concentration without distraction. A primary distraction is their financial wellness. Worries about money and bills can cause a senior employee to think less about the job and more about the bank accounts.

New Expenses to Deal With

The troubles can be coming from several places all at once. A middle-aged employee may have children in college and is trying to help them. Taking out certain loans have obligations that the parent should follow through with, or else risk consequences. Older employees use medical coverage more often. It means that the deductible must be satisfied and it gets to be a problem. Out-of-pocket payments for various surgical treatments and therapy can cost thousands of dollars each year. This is all in addition to credit card debt that may be mounting. Continue reading

You Can Win the Day in Courtsmallclaims-300x214

 

Not that many people have a day in court because most will settle before the cases are filed. However, there are situations where individuals go before a small claims court. This is a bench that hears disputes of perhaps $5000 or less, although some states have a higher threshold. It can get confusing and a group legal plan can help sort things out.

There are many reasons why issues end up in small claims court. It can be an argument over a property line, a warranty which is not being honored, or contract that has still has not been completed. The difference between this court and others is the lack of an attorney. Legal counsel will not represent you in court, and you must rely on yourself, instead.
