As you go through the different documents, it gives you a lot of information about that area so you can think about your choices and put in the answer that is best for your situation. The only thing that I did not like was on the Durable POA for finances, it did not print out the page for the notary to fill out. Instead, the notary needed to provide an acknowledgement page which made it a little more challenging when it came to signing. The notary acknowledgement was on the other forms such as the will as an affidavit page so not sure why they could not have just placed it here as well.

Easy Way to Complete Vital Documents The process to complete wills and other important documents was quite simple as you are guided through each step. There was ample explanation and additional information readily available if needed. The instructions were very clear. The program is well worth the investment.

Easy to use for wills, Power of Attorney, etc. I used Willmaker back in 2006 for our wills. This latest version is more thorough and provides easy to understand instructions. Especially found their Health Care Directive document very easy to create. There are links to more extensive information about each item, if you want to learn more about the item.

limited to simple will and trust This software is excellent except it is only useful for very simple wills and trust. For instance, I wanted to name a beneficiary in my trust and want to name an alternative if that person died before me...name my brother, then if he dies, his kids get his portion of my estate. WillMaker doesn't allow this. It only goes to the first level and doesn't allow you to go to the second. So, I wasted my money. Will Maker does allow for an alternative beneficiary but doesn't allow me to list who gets my assets if that person isn't alive. As an example, my spouse is my beneficiary, when both of us die my niece gets our estate but if she is gone, Will Maker doesn't allow you to list my niece's children as her alternative.
