What Is Family Legal Insurance?

Family legal insurance helps cover attorney expenses and other legal expenses when legal issues involving your family occur. It’s not health or life insurance; it’s insurance that assists with paying for legal help when your family needs it most.

Whether you’re adopting a child, creating a guardianship, protecting inheritance rights, or defending your child in juvenile court, LawGuard makes sure legal costs don’t stand in your way.

You stay in control by choosing any attorney, anywhere, and we help cover pre-trial and trial expenses until your case is resolved or your policy limit is reached.

Covered Family Legal Services

Adoption & Guardianship

Expanding your family is exciting, but adoption and legal guardianship often come with complicated legal steps. LawGuard helps pay for attorney costs so you can focus on your loved ones, not the paperwork.

• Uncontested Adoption: When all parties agree, an uncontested adoption can be finalized quickly; however, it still requires court filings, background checks, and legal documents. LawGuard helps with the attorney costs necessary for the process to go smoothly.
• Step-Parent Adoption: This allows a step-parent to legally adopt their spouse’s child.
• Contested Adoption: If someone objects to the adoption, it becomes contested. These cases require legal representation in court, and LawGuard helps cover those expenses.
• Guardianship/Conservatorship: This gives someone legal authority to make decisions for a child or adult who cannot care for themselves. Whether uncontested or contested, LawGuard helps pay for the lawyer who prepares the petitions and represents your case in court.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

Planning for the future protects everyone involved.

• A Prenuptial Agreement is a legal contract made before marriage that outlines how finances and property will be handled if the marriage ends.
• A Postnuptial Agreement is made after marriage to define the same things — often after financial changes or new assets are acquired. 

LawGuard helps cover attorney costs to draft, review, or update these agreements so they’re fair, enforceable, and clearly understood by both spouses.

Name Changes

Changing your legal name requires more than just paperwork. This procedure often involves court petitions, public notices, and, in some cases, hearings. Whether you’re changing your name after marriage, divorce, or personal reasons, LawGuard helps pay attorney fees to ensure everything is filed correctly and accepted by the court.

Juvenile Court and School Matters

When legal issues involve your children, having professional assistance can make all the difference. LawGuard provides coverage for:

• School Issues: Legal help for disputes with teachers, schools, or districts, including suspensions, expulsions, or special education rights.
• Juvenile Misdemeanor or Juvenile Felony Defense: If your child faces charges in juvenile court, LawGuard helps cover legal defense costs so your family can navigate the system fairly.
• Parental Responsibility Cases: These involve a parent’s legal duties when a child is accused of wrongdoing. LawGuard helps you cover the costs of protecting your rights while you meet your obligations as a parent.

Estate and Inheritance Protection

Protecting your family’s legacy is an important part of securing your future. LawGuard helps with:

• Estate Administration and Closing: When someone passes away, their estate (property, assets, and debts) must be legally managed and closed. LawGuard helps pay for an attorney to guide you through this process and handle court filings.
• Inheritance Rights Protection: If your right to inherit property or money is challenged, LawGuard helps pay for legal defense to make sure your family’s interests are protected.
• Elder Law Protection: Legal issues often arise as loved ones age, such as financial abuse, guardianship needs, or medical decision-making. LawGuard helps provide access to attorneys who specialize in elder care and protection laws.
