  NEWS: Prevention from The Principle

  Estate planning pros have estimated that a whopping seventy percent of Americans don't have a personal will made out. In the interest of cutting down that obviously distressing number, and to help citizens ensure that their assets are protected, the Principle Financial Group is offering complementary estate planning services, as well as resources designed to cut down incidence of identity theft. Along with ARAG, all group term life customers will be eligible to partake of these benefits.
  
  Of course, no-one wants to be overly morbid and dwell on what will happen after death, but The Principle is pushing consumers to look at the matter as a way of ensuring the financial security and peace of mind of one's loves ones. Reps are pushing hard on the issue that every adult should have a will in place to ensure the desired distribution of the assets they worked hard to achieve in their lifetimes. Coupled with the identity theft prevention measures, The Principle wants their customers to know that they have the present and future best interests of their assets in mind.
  
  New and current group term life insurance customers now have online access to will preparation tools that will assist them in creating a standard will, a living will, a healthcare power of attorney, and/or financial power of attorney. When and if major life changes occur, customers can go back to the documents they produced to update or to develop new documents with no additional cost incurred. The Principal is also offering gratis online access to an Identity Theft Prevention Kit and an Identity Theft Victim Action Kit. The two kits offer customers and family members advice and information about safeguarding their identities, and the best course of action should they be made a victim.
