What you need to know

How it works

You can elect Legal assistance through MetLife Legal as a new hire, during Open Enrollment, and after a qualifying life event. Coverage includes you and your eligible family members. Your cost for coverage is deducted from your paycheck after taxes.

What’s covered

You have access to attorneys for a wide range of personal legal matters — from wills and estate planning to real estate, family law, debt matters, and more. Online tools and resources are also available 24/7.

Attorneys

Network attorneys are available in person, by phone, or by email. You can also use an out-of-network attorney and be reimbursed for covered services according to the plan’s set fee schedule.

How this benefit can help you

You and your eligible dependents can access network attorneys through MetLife Legal for help with:

  • Will preparation and estate planning
  • Trusts (revocable and irrevocable)
  • Powers of attorney and living wills
  • Family law (adoption, guardianship, name change, prenuptial agreements)
  • Protection from domestic violence
  • Real estate matters (purchase, sale, refinancing, boundary disputes)
  • Document review and preparation
  • Debt collection defense
  • Personal bankruptcy
  • IRS audit assistance
  • Traffic ticket defense (excluding DUI)
  • Civil litigation defense
  • Consumer protection and small claims assistance
  • Identity theft defense
  • Immigration assistance
  • Elder law matters

You can use out-of-network attorneys too

You can use out-of-network attorneys too. If you use an out-of-network attorney, you will be reimbursed according to the plan’s set fee schedule — the lesser of the maximum reimbursement amount or the attorney’s actual charge. You are responsible for any difference between the plan’s payment and the attorney’s charge.
