Even if you’ve already broken one or two New Year’s resolutions, it doesn’t mean you can’t make one more. NYSUT Member Benefits Trust endorses a plan to help members actually achieve it.
Members who do not have a will, or who have one but need to update it, are encouraged to do it as soon as possible. The importance of having a will to protect members’ loved ones and personal wishes cannot be stressed enough.
This is especially true for members with children under the age of 18 or who have dependents with special needs. A will allows members to legally name a guardian(s) for their children. It also ensures that estates will be distributed according to the members’ wishes. Without an executed will, these very important, personal decisions are made by the state.
The Member Benefits-endorsed Legal Service Plan provides one simple will or update, at no charge. Enrollees also receive access to unlimited, toll-free legal advice from plan attorneys, who will make phone calls and write third-party correspondence, at no charge, to resolve legal situations before they become major problems.
