Three Must-Have Legal Documents
Most Americans don’t have wills. If you’re among this majority, it may not concern you that the state could wind up distributing your possessions and financial assets. But what about life and death decisions? If you don’t want a stranger making those choices for you, Primerica encourages you to obtain these three legal documents.
1. Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care. Also known as an advance directive or health care proxy, this lets you identify who will make medical decisions for you if you cannot.
2. Durable Power of Attorney for Finances. This designates who will handle money decisions for you.
3. Living Will. This tells doctors (and your family) exactly what type of care you do or do not want to receive if you are terminally ill and incapacitated. (Some states combine #1 and #3 into one form).
Don’t leave such important matters to someone you don’t know. Attorneys will charge you $300-$500 to draw up these documents.* For a subscription fee of as little as $25 per month (in most areas) you can have access to top rated attorneys through the Primerica Legal Protection Program. One of the features of this coverage that is free is will preparation. Plus, document (like Power of Attorney) preparation is just $20 each for covered members.** How’s that for peace of mind?
Talk to your Primerica representative today and put these key safeguards in place to protect yourself and your family.

I agrre with wil.. I learned as a Boy Scout to always be preared! Especially in life. You never know what will happen in your life and its better to be safe than sorry. Its a shame that corporate America doesnt care about the middle class families or single persons. These people are what make up a majority of the country and most of us struggle just to survive and often have to hustle just to make a few buck to pay the bills and keep food on the table and a roof over their heads. If Primerica is a company of which they have touted themselves as on their website, then they are doing a great service to those in need of such services. And provided they stick to their core values, maybe Primerica can even be some of the leaders to get us out of this economic crises we are facing in this country!
that’s the truth
