Does NOT include Springing Durable Power of Attorney Bought it for personal (family) estate planning purposes. Price was good. Interview process is easy like tax software. The Will and Health Care Directive worked fine. The Durable Power of Attorney only has a version that takes effect immediately. It does NOT provide for a Springing DPOA. Their reason is that it takes too long to determine incapacity, and the POA must have the ability to buy and sell immediately. Lots of on line articles support this position. However, that is not the right solution for me. Adding the Springing DPOA should be simple enough. Not including it is equivalent to giving legal advice to me.

Easy to use Easy to use, seems to cover all the bases we need for our estate planning. The only issue I found is both husband and wife are listed a female on the preview, there wasn't an option to select the gender, and no option to make changes. When I go to the last step (to print) the gender of the names on the estate aren't listed, which makes it ok in the end. I just spent needless time trying to correct the wrong gender.

Helps you get to an acceptable will allowing for changes as you raise more and more question Will maker was easy to use-walks you thru the process and lets you make new versions without deleting the old. The ability to learn as you go and make different versions till you are satisfied with one that works.

I have not had a chance yet to use this… I have not had a chance yet to use this version, however, I have used other versions and have always been impressed.

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.
