Can you find a lawyer through ARAG?

Don't waste your time trying to find a lawyer through ARAG. In my experience, most won't return your calls and the two that I worked with were terrible: dragged their heels, were discourteous, did not help me get the process work done that I needed. You do get a benefit reimbursement from ARAG if you go to a lawyer outside the network, so I suggest that you use it. Sarah Leverett in Oakland is a good mediation lawyer. Hope this is helpful.

My husband & I (both UC employees) used the ARAG legal insurance benefit a couple of years ago for Estate Planning & Medical directives etc. It was completely worth it & didn't cost us anything.

Does ARAG include wills?

I've used ARAG (not through UC) for several years now for wills. Our plan includes wills as part of the package -- no extra fees, not hourly -- and included healthcare directives, powers of attorney etc. We haven't set up a trust (not enough asset to warrant) but my understanding is that if it's basic, it's included. You might want to check out the website and see what kind of law the attorneys listed specialize in when choosing -- I chose mine based on geography because we didn't have any special needs. It's a pretty easy process, you meet w/ the lawyer, discuss your needs, assets, special concerns, how you want the proceeds directed etc. They draw up the will, send it to you to review, make any changes, and you come back in to sign/witness/notarize.
