Personal Legal Plan

Expanded Legal Services for SAANYS Members

SAANYS has always been there for members who need advice or assistance from legal counsel on job-related matters. Now members can take advantage of a personal legal plan through a national legal services provider that will offer other services, such as preparing a will, creating a trust, refinancing a mortgage, or just answering a question – all at a very reasonable discounted rate. ($85 enrollment for Regular Active, Retired Active, and Retired Affiliate members. Associate Member fee is $150.)

Each year, plan enrollees receive a simple will, a power of attorney, a living will, and a health care proxy (existing documents can be updated) at no additional fee. Any time a participant wishes to speak with an attorney on personal matters, they can call the toll-free number below for unlimited phone advice at no additional charge.

If a problem cannot be resolved by letter or phone, participants will be referred to a local plan attorney who can provide two one-hour consultations, again at no additional charge. Additional time is then charged by the firm at a greatly reduced rate.

To learn more or enroll, call 1-800-832-5182. Have your SAANYS membership card and/or ID ready.
