Sometimes you need legal help with a problem like a claim for damages caused by careless builders, or to draw up a legally binding contract. But legal advice is expensive. In fact, only 37% of South Africans can access legal help when they need it. Now you too can afford legal advice! As a 1Life policyholder you have access to a new legal assistance benefit from LAW FOR ALL, courtesy of 1Life and Truth About Money. We found out more about the legal assistance benefit and how it can help you.
There’s a good chance you’ll need legal advice
“No one expects to land in legal hot water,” says Advocate Jackie Nagtegaal, LAW FOR ALL’s Managing Director. “But there is a high likelihood that it will happen at some point in life, and it could have debilitating financial consequences.”
Whether it’s a divorce or maintenance dispute, a dispute with a service provider, or something more serious like an arrest, having a legal professional on your side and access to good legal advice can mean a successful and speedy resolution. Which is why 1Life is giving added value to policyholders with a legal assistance benefit.
