Most people put off making a will because they don’t like thinking about death. Did you know if you were to die without a will, the government will determine what to do with your property, assets and minor children? Make sure you have a plan in place to protect your loved ones when you’re gone. All benefits-eligible employees have access to MetLife’s basic self-serve online will preparation service, WillsCenter.com.

If you are enrolled in supplemental life insurance, you can take advantage of this will preparation service for free. Wills Center is administered by Hyatt Legal Plans’ network of more than 12,000 participating attorneys, and includes living wills and power-of-attorney preparation services.
