GBDo 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.

GBlimited 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.

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.

GBInability 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.

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.
