CHECK NEEDS AND CHOOSE COMPONENTS:
- Get insured before trouble starts
Legal insurance only covers future disputes – not issues you already have. Most plans have a 3-month waiting period.
-
Make sure tenant protection is included
Rental problems are common: deposit issues, rent increases, or unfair charges. You need the tenant legal module for this. -
Choose the right coverage areas
Legal plans are modular: rental, work, private life, traffic. Select what fits your life – but it's better to be safe than sorry. -
Ask for expat-friendly options
Not all providers offer English contracts or lawyers. We’ll help you find a plan with English support and international experience. -
Use your legal insurance for advice too
You don’t need to wait for a lawsuit! Many plans include free legal consultation – for example, before signing a rental contract.
