com Highlights 5 Tips for Being Legally Prepared for Summer

Travel Season

Organizing legal affairs before leaving home can help provide peace of mind if there is an
emergency while on vacation.

Jackson, MS, June 30, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Fourth of July weekend means summer travel season is in full
swing. Whether it is flying to that dream destination vacation, enjoying the beach, attending a family
reunion or traveling abroad, events can quickly turn if there is an accident, emergency, or unforeseen
incident that could have legal consequences. U.S. Legal Forms CEO Frank D. Edens encourages
individuals to consider doing a little legal planning just in case.

When we think of vacation travel, many of us put thought into the clothes we are going to pack and map
out places we want to visit while sightseeing, but not as many of us think about what we will do if we
have a medical or other emergency. Taking proactive steps in advance can help better protect you and
your family, said Edens.

U.S. Legal Forms has these five legal tips for travelers:

1) Create a Life Documents File which is a collection of important legal papers and other documents. The
file can include copies of identification records such as birth certificate, credit cards, passport, social
security card, and driver's license or other photo ID. In addition, consider including travel itineraries,
insurance policies, medical records, and Will, Living Will, and Power of Attorney documents. Make sure
a trusted relative or family friend can access the documents in case you have an unexpected event while
traveling and you need their assistance to help you locate a record.

2) Draft or update Will, Living Will, and Power of Attorney forms. Documents can be prepared by
consulting an attorney in your local area. Access the USLegal Attorney Directory if you need help.
Individuals can also prepare legal forms on their own by downloading state-specific documents online.
To make the process easier, The Dave Ramsey Legacy Forms Combo Package powered by
USLegalForms.com is now on sale for $29.95 as part of a 4th of July promotion. It includes Will, Living
Will, and Power of Attorney forms, plus an estate planning worksheet and a free eBook written by
Ramsey called The Legacy Journey. The special will run from June 30 through July 9, 2017. It can be
accessed at https://www.uslegalforms.com/july4/.

3) Be mindful of your personal information, currency, and belongs at all times while away from home.
Do morning and evening checks to make sure you have your passport, driver's license, credit cards,
monies, and any other personal records on hand. Be careful as well when accessing email and social
media accounts from unsecure connections and public WiFi. Remember ID theft is at an all-time high and
tourists are prime targets for those seeking to steal personal data.

4) Contact your bank and credit card companies in advance if you are traveling far from home and
especially if you are traveling internationally to avoid restrictions being placed on your debit and/or credit

card accounts. Banks and credit card companies are getting a lot better about detecting suspicious
activities which are outside your normal spending patterns, but this will not be helpful if you need to use
your accounts on vacation and find they are on hold. Letting financial institutions know about your
travels beforehand will prevent problems. At the same time, contact your bank or credit card company
immediately if you notice a credit or debit card is lost or stolen to minimize potential unauthorized use.

5) If you are planning to visit a foreign country, it is worthwhile to review the Traveler's Checklist put out
by the U.S. Department of State which covers additional topics such as crisis planning, health
precautions, money matters, visas, international driving permits, traveling with minors, and more.
