Legal services
The Legal Services Plan provides Plan participants with access to attorneys in connection with real estate transactions, preparation of wills, providing legal advice, drafting letters and reviewing documents relating to personal legal matters as well as providing representation for other matters.
In addition to the Plan participants, the Plan covers their spouses or domestic partners who are living with the Plan participant; unmarried, dependent children under the age of 19 or under the age of 25 if the child is wholly dependent upon the Plan participant for support and maintenance and is enrolled as a full-time student.
The initial point of contact for every active participant is the toll-free number of the Legal Plan Office of Feldman, Kramer & Monaco, P.C., (800) 832-5182. If necessary, the Legal Plan Office will then make referrals to local participating attorneys.

The benefits provided by a Legal Services Plan are more valuable than ever before due in large part to COVID-19. Many people are facing issues such as: Bankruptcy (we can help stop bill collectors), Foreclosure (we can provide guidance with keeping or vacating a home), Landlord/Tenant Issues (rent reduction or eviction moratorium), Estate Planning (FREE Will, POA and trusts) and Family Law Issues (we can assist with child/spousal support modifications), Real Estate (many families are moving).
