Product may be OK but I will never know. Could not get it function although it installed perfectly. Broderbund is immpossible to contact if you have a problem. Their software support (Encore) does not have an 800 number and you can hang on long distance for an hour before talking to someone.

Frustrated and waste of time due to Broderbund lousy support.

Easy to use, multitude of useful forms. I've upgraded twice since mid 90s w/o a thought of switching brands. Primarily use the commercial lease form which is thorough yet without excess verbiage.

If you live in the state of Louisiana don't buy this product you can not use any of the forms. You will not find that out until you purchase the product.

I knew when I bought this that it was an older version, but it works great with Windows 2000 and Vista. It is a little tricky to load your existing files but they are in there when you find the way to load them. What you do is double click the category of the document from the list on the left, then your saved document will pop up. Software came in a factory sealed box and you can't beat it for the price.

I have just recently used this product to update my personal medical records and etc. The software is truly in depth and easy to use with the built in interviewer process.

has all of the documents that a layman could reasonably expect to need.

This could have been a great software program to own. There are several useful forms no matter what your situation is and it is easy to use except.....it won't save certain files. And if you get an error under a user name that user profile is corrupted so you have to start all over. I gave the product the benefit of the doubt, that I had possibly done something wrong, but when I tried the same files on a different user it did the same thing. Even when I set up 2 new clean users it wouldn't let me switch back and forth. I am ditching this version and getting the 2006 version hoping they have worked out the technical issues.

A must for every family. I did my Directive for the hospital and ambulance. I haven't gotten into the meat of this program but I had one before and lost it. This is the replacement and I'm just as good.

I've had versions of this software for many years, beginning with the time I had a practice as a real estate counselor. We often had a need for a document and, as is the practice of many attorneys, we usually had something on disk or in a file that we could adapt for the current situation.

Broderbund's Family Lawyer proved to be the fastest, most effective solution. The interviews and the documents gather and present the information in a workmanlike manner. I'm accustomed to editing the final edition with a word processor. When necessary, we'd draft a document and give it to our client, advising or urging them to have their attorney review and revise the draft. Changes were seldom necessary and our clients were quite knowledgeable. When they needed a Power of Attorney, for example, they knew what they needed to know; Family Lawyer gave them the verbiage to get the job done in a manner acceptable to our jurisdiction.

The questions that I was seeking answers to were imediately answered upon my reading the book.
