Has anyone used the legal services provided by EAP? If so, was it worth the effort? I should get a will in place but am a bit overwhelmed by the process.

Go ahead and call your EAP. Simple wills tend to be rather easy to set up. Also, you might check with your Life Insurance carrier if they have anything. The Hartford has such a service available for us. Been with them 6 years and I had no idea until last month.

I guess you mean the Prepaid legal services benefit offered by a few firms
. I started the process years ago , spent a ton of time making copies and sending over the info to the law firm . I met with them and sent additional information and then the firm ghosted me. I spent so much time gathering all the information for nothing . Don't make this happen to you. The law firm got paid by the prepaid insurance company and the law firm ghosted me

That’s what I was curious about. It will take a lot of paperwork to get what I need, but paperwork takes time and I believe I only get a few hours as my benefit.

Advice and tips for a first time rental property investor?

Does anyone have any advice on investing in the LI area (best location, SFH v MFH) or just general first time rental property buying advice?

Thanks all

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.
