[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My employer has a legal plan through work for which I pay like $10/pay period (I think). Apparently, I can use that network to create these documents at no extra cost.

Are these good deals?  Are the lawyers that are part of the network good?  Will I get the same, thoughtful service that I would get as a retail customer?  [/quote]

[b]I used Metlaw[/b] which I think is related to Hyatt Legal plans for my will and trust.  The plan covers the will, medical POA, etc. but did not cover the conduit trust.  I think I paid like $250 extra for that.  Most of the lawyers in the network were not very good.  I'm a lawyer in a different practice so I know what to look for and I think the person I went with did a good job.  In terms of service, I think the plan includes a one hour consultation followed by draft documents that you review and make any edits too (names spelled correctly, etc.) and a signing session where all of the documents are signed and notarized with appropriate witnesses.[/quote]

DH has Hyatt Legal plan as well at work.  Mind sharing the name of the lawyer/firm you used?  Thanks![/quote]

Sure, I used Elizabeth W. Ho (http://ewholaw.com/) and she practices in Virginia.  The reason I picked her is because (i) most of her practice is trusts and estates which increases the likelihood that she's knowledgeable in that area, (ii) good law school and (iii) large firm work experience.  I generally find these three to be decent proxies for a reasonably intelligent person and there are not a ton of choices of people you can use in Virginia.
