Why Expats in China Should Have Pre-packaged Legal Plans

Why Do I Need a Personal Lawyer in China?
Legal service is a “must have” for expats living in China. Many expats have attorneys in their home countries, despite understanding their own culture, language, and legal system. In China, the environment is much more confusing. As foreigners, it is easy to make expensive mistakes.
Engaging a lawyer to review a lease is always good idea. When there are disputes between the tenant and landlord, a lawyer can help resolve the issue more smoothly. If an expat is considering purchasing property in China, a local attorney can assist with all stages of the process, including the mortgage, price negotiation, and transaction documentation. Expats who own property in China should have an attorney draft a will, which will avoid a good deal of hassle for your legatees.
If you have children in China, you should have an attorney draft a guardianship directive that states who becomes their guardian while they are still in China (it often takes some time for family members to obtain visas and flights to China).
What are Prepackaged Legal Plans?
Prepackaged legal plans are a simple and user-friendly solution for expats. For one low annual fee, the client receives the services of his or her own personal lawyer for one year. Prepackaged legal plans eliminate the hassle of looking for a reputable lawyer, as the plan provider screens the attorneys in the network.
Can a Prepackaged Legal Plan Save Me Money?
Yes – prepackaged legal plans are a great way for the average expat to get legal advice and help without paying high hourly rates. Prepackaged legal plans negotiate volume discounts with attorneys. Therefore, the hourly cost to the client is much lower.
Having a plan also makes it easy to access legal service and advice on a preventative basis. Almost all expats in China have a legal question that comes up at some point during the year. These legal plans can help prevent a legal question from becoming a legal problem in China.
How Does a Prepackaged Legal Plan Work?
Plan members may consult with their lawyer over the telephone, in person at the member’s office, or at the attorney’s office. Plans include reviewing contracts and issuing letters. Having a plan will also entitle members to discounts on providers’ specialized services, such as litigation and drafting documents.
