Will Preparation4 To help ensure your decisions are carried out When you enroll for retiree term life coverage, you will automatically receive access to Will Preparation Services at no extra cost to you. Both you and your spouse/state-registered domestic partner will have unlimited in-person or telephone access to one of MetLife Legal Plans, Inc.’s nationwide network of 18,500+ participating attorneys for preparation of or updating a will, living will or power of attorney. * When you use a participating plan attorney, there will be no charge for the services.* Like life insurance, a carefully prepared will (simple or complex), living will and power of attorney are important. • A will lets you define your most important decisions, such as who will care for your children or inherit your property. • A living will ensures your wishes are carried out and protects your loved ones from having to make very difficult and personal medical decisions by themselves. Also called an “advanced directive,” it is a document authorized by statutes in all states that allows you to provide written instructions regarding use of extraordinary life-support measures and to appoint someone as your proxy or representative to make decisions on maintaining extraordinary life-support if you should become incapacitated and unable to communicate your wishes. • Powers of attorney allow you to plan ahead by designating someone you know and trust to act on your behalf in the event of unexpected occurrences or if you become incapacitated. Call 1-800-821-6400 and a Client Service Representative will assist you. * You also have the flexibility of using an attorney who is not participating in the MetLife Legal Plans, Inc. network and being reimbursed for covered services according to a set fee schedule. In that case you will be responsible for any attorney’s fees that exceed the reimbursed amount.
