I am
participating in a blogger program for ARAG and have been
provided compensation in exchange for sharing my honest opinions about the
product.
“Momager” is a term coined by
Kris Jenner the mom of the Kardashian clan and brains behind their franchise.
Even if few of us are managing our kids reality TV career, I think that the
term applies to all moms. Here’s why.
Although life has changed a lot
since the 1950's one truism remains, women are the managers of the household.
And before you send me comments about how there's this one divorced guy who has
custody of his five daughters and is doing it all-including cornrowing hair--by
himself, let me put this into context. This post is all about heterosexual
married couples. And in those relationships, the majority of the time, women
are "doin' it for themselves" and for their spouses.
Use ARAG Legal
Insurance to Help You Manage Your Household
Having legal insurance allows
you to have an attorney on speed dial at a fraction of the cost!
For that reason, I wanted to
prepare a post that gave some tips to my sisters about household management.
Let's be clear, for years, my profiles said, that I was "struggling to
keep my house clean". So, I will not be providing housecleaning tips.
Instead, I'll be providing tips about how women can help their families
preserve their sanity and assets by purchasing legal insurance. And that is
news you can use.
Most people think of lawyers when
they have an unresolved conflict and would like to sue. Common examples of
those conflicts are neighbor disputes, employment matters, and divorce.
However, what if you love your neighbors like family, think your job is your
true calling, an are convinced that your spouse was sent from God himself?! If
that is true, call me. I can coach you about how you can sell whatever you're
smoking for a profit. Seriously, if those things are true you can still need an
attorney because attorneys preserve your asset and prepare for the future. That
means attorneys can help you have fewer surprises and save more of your money.
And who doesn't want that?!
Here's the thing, paying for a
lawyer can be cost-prohibitive for cash strapped families. That is why you
should consider legal insurance. It can help you reduce the cost of paying for
an attorney while still allowing you to meet your current and future needs.
Legal Insurance Can Help You
At All Phases of Life (ARAG)
- Hiring an attorney to update your will-If you
have been fruitful and multiplying like I have been over the last eight
years, you may be in need of a will that includes all of your children, a
comprehensive estate plan that adequately addresses your needs and
concerns, or at the very least, a substitute decision-maker consent form
for your kids while you are on a romantic vacation with your spouse. (I
wrote that last one while laughing because who has time for that when you
have three small children?!)
- Hiring an attorney to fight with your insurance
company-You buy home and car insurance to help you when an unfortunate
event or accident occurs. You expect the reimbursement process to be easy,
right? You expect it to go like this-experience an event, file a
claim, and get your cash. Sometimes though, your beliefs about your
insurance coverage differs from your carriers. When this happens, you may
find yourself with lots of questions about why you didn't get paid what
you expected. when that happens, an attorney can help.
- Hiring an attorney to assist you with your
parent's estate-Although we would like to believe that our parents
will be healthy and vibrant for ever, that may change. You may find
yourself in the position where you need to help your parents manage their
households. A power of attorney is a document that allows you to access
someone else's bank account and pay their bills without them having to be
with you. An attorney can walk you through what needs to be done to make
that happen.
- Hiring an attorney for end of life concerns-At
some point, all of us will reach the end of our lives and be unable to
make decisions for ourselves. You can make the process easier for your
healthcare providers and loved ones by speaking for yourself now. Consult
an attorney about your state's process for identifying a surrogate
decision-maker to make healthcare decisions on behalf of someone else.
- Hiring an attorney to help you create a trust or a
will-These days, a lot of families look very different from what they
used to look like. Who you consider "family" may not even be
your blood relative. The lack of a common bloodline doesn't diminish the
significance of those folks in your lives. However, it does mean that you
need to work a little harder to ensure that your family relationship is
respected by the courts when you die. With a little though, planning, and
an attorney, you can ensure that your desires are followed.
