GBDoes 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.

GBHelps 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.

GBThe program addressed many issues quite… The program addressed many issues quite easily. All except 2: 1) There was no method to specify future heirs such as future grandchildren. 2) The loan forgiveness provision only allows for a specific balance amount. It should specify the basis and then forgive the outstanding balance. I am currently uncertain how to proceed without regular will updates for loan balances and future grandchildren. Update: Included in each interview section are expandable notes. I found references to the need for specific names in the will. I will need to update the will for future grandchildren. Also, I removed any reference to loans in the will and added my preference in a letter to the executor. Both resolutions have allowed me to complete the will along with other supporting documents.

GBVery well done Very well done. One thing we wished was more clear was the transfer of deed portion of the trust. Quitclaim forms are not consistent online. Nolo provided some states on their site but not ours. They should all be available. Also, some sections included the area for the Notary to sign, some said to include it. Didn’t know how to find it, but our Notary was experienced and was able to provide it for us. Not sure the Notary at the UPS Store would have been as knowledgeable.

GBThe software is easy to download and… The software is easy to download and install. 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.
