It’s been said that if you had 100 million dollars, it would be wise to spend 1 million to keep the other 99. Everyone knows that buying a home involves major investment, and many unknowns. Sudden expenses, unforeseen costs and liabilities can pop up during or after the transaction. It’s not IF but WHEN. Have you ever seen the 1990 movie Pacific Heights? It was the real estate horror story. So how do you protect yourself and your bottom line?

What if you had your own Legal Department — attorneys to ensure you dot all i’s and cross all t’s before the transaction, to ensureYOUR interests are looked after DURING the purchase or sale, and to help handle all of the countless surprises AFTER you own the house? All without you having to worry about what the attorneys will cost to make your life and investment stress free.

1. If you’re arrested or detained…

Most law enforcement officers are conscientious and will protect your rights rather than abuse them. If you are stopped or detained by a law enforcement or police officer or questioned by authorities regarding a minor child in your custody, we suggest taking the following precautions:

Cooperate with the officer and ask for permission to get yourLegalShield Card.
If arrested or detained, call the 24-hour, toll-free number on yourLegalShield card.

Of course, the first step is to make sure you and others involved are OK. Your next two calls should be to your insurance company and your lawyer.
