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.

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.

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.

Do it online or download software I really like the feature that you can do your will or living trust online or download the software and do it on your own computer. To do a living trust, you just need to answer a few questions and then you are done. Very easy and straight forward.

Inability to save Not being able to save at will is a problem. I am not always able to compete a whole section at one sitting.
