If you are enrolled in Supplemental Life, you will have access to more than 18,500 attorneys in-network, at no additional cost. Whether you have a question about the probate process or court representation needed, unlimited consultations with a plan attorney can leave you feeling confident with your decisions. If you prefer, you may also use an out-of-network attorney. While the cost for these services will need to be paid up-front, you can submit a case for reimbursement based on a set fee schedule.
The following services are included at no cost where enrolled in Supplemental Life:
- Unlimited one-on-one consultations to talk with to an attorney about authenticating an estate.
- Preparation and court representation means you receive prepared estate documents and in-court professional representation to help execute the transfer of probate assets from the estate.
- Help with correspondence and tax filing needed to transfer non-probate assets.
As soon as your Supplemental Life insurance begins, you’ll automatically have each of these services at your fingertips.
