Quicken Willmaker Plus 2008 Edition: Estate Planning Essentials (Book with CD-ROM) by NOLO

Comprehensive do-it yourself guide

Not a substitute for law school but clearly answers the call for a mainstream approach to standard legal needs for most common issues. It will also broaden the basic technical knowledge required to understand basic legal aspects. Without a doubt not only a good "reference" guide but also a useful tool. Highly recommend it.

Book offers helpful overview; CD is easy to use

The book offers a great overview of various estate-planning issues and is organized to let you skip those sections that don't pertain to you. I was able to draft a simple will in about 30 minutes.

Quicken - Willmaker Plus 2008

Excellent program for anyone writing a will, living will, living trust and powers of attorney. It's easy and can be updated anytime. Just do your work stop and think about things then come back and do some more until completed. You have a complete review at the end before you have it notarized at a bank instead of being ripped off by a lawyer. Everything is saved until you want to update for changes in your future. The program makes you aware of many additional things such as your property, estate and advice on beneficiaries. This Willmaker 2008 takes the guess work out of everything and it is not rocket science. I have compared my finished documents to other relatives who have paid $4,000 and more for the exact same thing. If you make $200k or less...forget the lawyers and save your money. It's so easy...I give it 5 stars. What a relief to have this done and at my fingertips for the future if needed.

Easy to use and Thorough

Fit my needs - I am a young single female with not many assets, but a house and a car. My parents didn't want me to end up like Terry Schivo, so I wanted to make sure my estate and myself were in good hands if ever I were in a similar situation. This software was easy to use and understand!

Great Software

Willmaker loaded quickly and I was able to make a draft will in a very short time. The additional information forms were also great - and will be much more helpful to my heirs and executor than the will.
