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.

The 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.

A great value to plan for your future This software package has everything you need to set up your own estate plan -- without going to the expense of hiring a lawyer. The survey questions are detailed -- so that -- you can put together documents that fit your personal situations.

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.

Presto! Discrepancy fixed! I couldn’t get past a discrepancy error on my own, and your team member efficiently handled the issues over the phone. The will came out as intended. Great service !
