Help ensure your family is provided for in the future with our estate planning services ¹ ²

Experts at hand

Having a will prevents unnecessary stress and ensures your final wishes are clear. We offer valuable legal resources through MetLife Legal Plans to assist you with creating or updating a will at no additional cost to you with your Supplemental Life coverage. Get unlimited access to create and execute key estate planning documents with access to Network Attorneys so you can feel confident you’re making the right decisions.

Tailored guidance when it matters most

Choose to complete wills and other important documents easily online by answering a few simple questions in as little as 15 minutes or meet with any of our more than 18,000 network attorneys in-person or by phone for a one-on-one consultation in a private and supportive environment. There are no claim forms to file for covered services when using a network attorney–fees are taken care of through your plan. To help you find the right fit for you, you can use an out-of-network attorney, the fees reimbursed for these services are based on a set fee schedule.

You’ve got it covered

Take advantage of covered services including:

  • Unlimited access: Create and execute wills online on your own schedule. Talk to an attorney as many times as needed to
    prepare, update or revise a will.
  • Protection for the unexpected: Prepare living wills and powers of attorney to help ease the stress if individuals become unable to make decisions for themselves.

These services are automatically available to you when your life insurance coverage starts.

Expert guidance is just a click away
