mind, Nolo has provided extensive online help for you to access. With
each step along the way, you can turn to www.nolo.com to access legal

export them to an RTF file which can be opened in any word processor.

offers any expert technical help you might need. For years
WillMaker has been providing Americans with the power to take estate
planning into their own hands, and this software has been consistently
rated by leading consumer magazines and reviewers as the best estate
software on the market. WillMaker 2005 Plus continues that legacy. As an added bonus, once you register your new software, you can download the $24.99, 384-page e-book, Get a Life: You Don't Need a Million to Retire Well
by Attorney Ralph Warner, for free. In its fifth edition, Warner's
guide can show you how to beat the anxiety surrounding retirement by
developing a plan to make your golden years the best of your life. | | Comment | We
have used all the different documents numerous times. A must have if
you have children because of the medical authorization form and child
care agreements. I highly recommend this software.
The recent heart-breaking Terri Schiavo case in Florida
highlights the importance for everyone to have a living will as well as
a regular will. You can go to a lawyer, buy a standard form from a
legal stationery store, or use Willmaker Plus 2005.
This latest estate planning and family law software from Nolo Press
is distributed by Quicken. Nolo is a company that has been publishing
self-help legal books for many years, and their website provides a
wealth of information. (Since I'm not a lawyer, I can't comment if
their information is always accurate, but it's at least accessible to
laypeople like me.)
Willmaker 2005 is for more than just writing your own will. It has
many other legal documents which you can fill in, print out, and sign
(in front of a notary public in some cases) to make them legally
binding. The estate planning section is pretty comprehensive and works
in every state except Louisiana. (I wonder why.) Setting up your legal
will and living trust is pretty much a hassle-free, expense-free and
lawyer-free process. The other types of documents you can create with
this program include responses to those dreaded debt collection notices
and filing consumer complaints. This is really a "family lawyer"
package. (Quicken used to publish their own family lawyer program but
has since replaced it with Nolo's more superior Willmaker.)
The software takes an interview approach. You pick a document you
want to work on. It asks you a few questions and then drafts the
document for you. You review the document and then print it out and
follow the simple steps to make it legally binding. The "simple steps"
often just involve you and two witnesses (including a notary public in
some cases) signing the document; for simple letters such as a reply to
a debt collection letter, you don't need witnesses.
While it would have been a lot nicer if the program could automate
things a bit more, e.g., asking who you are and then choosing the
documents for you, I guess writing a will or any legal document should
not be a totally brainless thing; you have to understand what it's all
about and what's involved, since we are talking legally binding
documents here. (Of course, you must be mentally valid in order to
create a will.)
The program comes with a printed user manual. While the manual is a
little confusing and makes using the program look more complex than it
actually is, it's nice to have printed documentation which you can
refer to readily.
I like the software and, being a paranoid that I am, like doing my
will and doing it for free. I can also do the wills for my family.
My only concern about using the software stems from this passage from the second page of the manual:
"Product support (including Web update) for Quicken WillMaker Plus
2005 ends on January 1, 2006. ... Please note that legal documents
created and signed before January 1, 2006 will remain legally valid and
enforceable if you have used Web Update regularly. You will need to
upgrade your software only if you want to create new documents or
update existing documents."
Does this mean I'll need to buy a new version each and every year
from now on? (I fancy my financial and family situation will change
over time and thus require additions and/or amendments.) While
upgrading the software still beats a trip to the attorney, it would
nonetheless be quite an annoyance.
(In all fairness, both Quicken and Microsoft are moving to a
subscription-like model for their financial software, so I guess that's
the inevitable trend.)
Happy estate planning!

WillMaker (formerly published by NOLO) 2005 is a minor update, but it's
always a good idea to get the latest version so it reflects the latest
state laws. (But estate laws don't change often...)
