Family Legal Care Plan Overview

The Family Legal Care Plan is a licensed insurance plan that provides legal protection for you and your family. The premium is only $20.00 or less per month. You select your law firm from a group of local firms, and you and your family receive the following legal services for no additional charge:

• Preparation of documents including simple wills, advance directives (living wills) and powers of attorney
• Unlimited legal advice and consultation
• Review of legal documents such as leases, contracts, and purchase agreements
• Representation in court for certain legal matters

Additionally, ALL other legal matters not included in the above categories are covered by the ULB Plan, and legal services will be provided at a minimum 25% discount from the standard rates of your chosen law firm. For more details, view our Detailed Summary of Services.

The Family Legal Care Quality Assurance Program monitors the standard rates of participating law firms to ensure all discounts are true. Take a look at our Comparison of ULB Member Costs vs. Standard Legal Fees.

The Family Legal Care Plan is often referred to as “Legal Health Care” because it is structured like medical insurance. After enrolling, all contact is direct, private, and confidential between you and your attorney. Under the ULB Plan, you and your family develop a personal and long-lasting relationship with your attorney; similar to the relationships you have with your family doctor, dentist, and other professionals.

For new members, there is a minimum twelve (12) month membership requirement. There is no waiting period, and once you receive your membership card, you contact your attorney directly for your legal needs. This guarantees your privileged client/attorney relationship.
