overview

If you’re enrolled in the Chevron Supplemental Life Insurance Plan, you have access – at no additional cost – to Will Preparation1.

Without a will, your assets may be distributed according to state law and not in accordance with your wishes. An up-to-date will establishes important decisions about the distribution of your assets. That's why Will Preparation is such an important benefit for Chevron employees. With Will Preparation, you have access to an important service that helps you ensure your family's future should something happen to you.

what is will preparation?

Will Preparation is offered by Hyatt Legal Plans1, a MetLife company, and provides eligible employees and their spouses/domestic partners with access to attorneys participating in Hyatt Legal Plans network for preparing or updating a will, living will and power of attorney at no additional charge. When you choose a participating Hyatt Legal Plans attorney, the attorney's fees are fully covered and there are no claim forms to file. You also have the flexibility of using a non-network attorney and being reimbursed for covered services according to a set fee schedule2.
