If you decide to purchase this program you will need to have Macromedia Shockwave to use with this, and it does not tell you this until you install it. In addition this company did not bundle it on the CD-ROM. Even after installing this program it did not create a shortcut for it (though it is on my programs menu, and I was able to create a shortcut) from there. After installing Shockwave on my computer, it did not function properly. I was able to view the documents by clicking on them individually through the Windows registry, but it did not enable the macros so that I could fill them out. The wording of the documents and the many different types of documents offered are good, but this program does not work well at all on Windows 95, and I had so many problems with it I finally just uninstalled it and took it back to Office Depot. There is a cheaper program called PC Attorney available through Cosmi Software that works just as well if not better, or use Quicken Personal Lawyer, which is more money but definitely more user-friendly. Save yourself the hassle.

let's face it... Attorneys suck. Everything they do is expensive, overpriced, and most often comes from a template that they simply change to fit your specific need. In most cases attorneys charge $300 an hour to give you a document that they prepared for somebody else and put your name on it. This software( assuming you can still get it) will save you tens of thousands of dollars if you frequently create leases, purchase agreements, general contracts, power of attorneys etc. The fact the matter is all you need is a template and you can fill in the rest.

If you buy this software or any other legal forms you should create the document yourself and then pay an attorney to review it. Most often they won't charge you more than a half an hour of their time and will make changes that will protect you. ( lawyers do have their place) I have saved a fortune preparing most of my own documents and paying an attorney to make sure that I'm not getting in trouble... Proceed with caution but definitely buy this software.
