You go for a yearly checkup at your doctor’s office, right? It’s not because you’re sick or something is wrong. But a checkup offers you a chance to discuss things with your doctor, ask questions, and get professional input on your overall health.
So why don’t you get a “legal checkup” every year too?

So how do you go about getting a “legal checkup”? A local attorney will probably make time for a private consultation, but it will likely cost you.
For the cost-conscious, there’s another option: A legal plan that offers unlimited on-call access to local attorneys who can answer your questions. One plan, called LegalStreet, also includes an attorney-drafted will and an annual will review as part of a prepaid plan that works out to less than $13 a month. LegalStreet plans also include legal document reviews by licensed attorneys.
