Will Preparation Service
MetLife's Will Preparation service is offered through Hyatt Legal Plans, a MetLife company, and fully covers the legal costs associated with having a will prepared or updated when using an attorney who participates in Hyatt Legal Plans' network.
Virtually everyone needs a will. Without a will, a person's assets are generally distributed according to state law, regardless of his/her actual intentions. Having a will can help you set important decisions -- such as who inherits your property, who handles your affairs and who will care for your children.
This program provides participants enrolled (employees, spouse and domestic partners) in the University's MetLife Supplemental Term Life program with access to the services of attorneys. Employees and their spouses/domestic partners meet face-to-face with an attorney in the Hyatt Legal Plans network to complete the entire process of creating or updating a will. Highlights of the service include:
Personal assistance from a Hyatt Legal Plans participating attorney;
- End-to-end service -- employees work with a plan attorney through the entire process.
- Convenience -- employees are matched to a participating attorney within their geographic area.
- Full service for creating or updating wills, including complex wills and codicils, for both employees and their spouses.
- Convenient, toll-free customer service from Hyatt Legal Plans.
- There is no limit on the number of times a will can be prepared or updated.
To use the Will Preparation service, simply call Hyatt Legal Plans' toll-free number, 800-821-6400, Monday -- Friday from 8:00 a.m. -- 6:00 p.m. Eastern time to speak to a representative. You'll be asked to provide The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill group #102056 and your Social Security number. The representative will assist you in locating a participating plan attorney in your area, and provide you with an authorization number you'll need when you or your spouse/domestic partner makes an appointment.
You may also use a non-participating attorney and receive reimbursement for covered services according to a set fee schedule. In this case, you will be responsible for any of the attorney fees that exceed the reimbursed amount. The Hyatt Legal Plans representative will provide you with information on the fee schedule if you use a non-participating attorney.
