Estate resolution
As part of your Life insurance coverage with MetLife Worldwide Benefits, you have access to valuable legal resources – at no additional cost – including estate resolution services. These services are designed to help you feel confident about your most important life decisions. Please check your Schedule of Benefits or ask your employer if this service is included in your plan.
Support for probate and more
Settling an estate can be complex – but it doesn’t have to be. This service includes probate support for the executor or administrator of the insured’s estate, with unlimited consultations with a plan attorney.
Legal experts will guide you through:
- Collecting and safeguarding assets
- Professional appraisals (if needed)
- Selling assets (if needed)
- Paying valid debts and taxes
- Distributing remaining property (or following state law if no will exists)
Attorney network
If you’re in the US, you have access to over 18,000+ participating plan attorneys for in-person or phone consultations in a private, supportive setting for the services above.
If you’re outside the US or if you prefer, you may use your own attorney and submit a claim for a set reimbursement amount. These details are explained in our Estate Resolution flyer.
