alright in basic function, but no import facility,
By hypergeometric "hypergeometric" (Westwood, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kiplinger's WillPower 2004 Win/Mac (CD-ROM)
Willpower is acceptable, as far as its function goes. It provides a scheme for detailing your assets, and a boilerplate Will and Last text. It's not clear, however, that the scheme couldn't be done comparably with a spreadsheet. In addition, the Will and Last text often needs editing, for the legal language is convoluted so it can be massaged by a computer program to handle the cases checked.
However, Kiplinger provides NO UPGRADE from one year's Willpower to another, something which you'd think would be important as laws change. I was talked into buying a completely new version, which I did. Guess what: The new version has NO MEANS OF IMPORTING INFORMATION from the older version. That means you have to enter all your property all over again. The lack of a means of importing information is why I rated this at One Star. Otherwise it'd get a Three Stars. I'm on the hunt for a third-party conversions program. I may write one myself.

A Poorly Executed Product, but Lots of Potential,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Kiplinger's WillPower 2004 Win/Mac (CD-ROM)
Though the interview process goes smoothly, Willpower prompts me with an "unexpected error - please save and quit" when I complete the interview. Willpower will not accept a simple file name for saving my finished document, and worse, won't print. The only way I could print my finished will is to export it in RTF format. Kiplinger Technical Support acknowledges the problem as a Java conflict - but claims that since I can eventually print my document, I can't expect anything else. I'm running Willpower on a G4 iMac, using OS10.3.8 - the latest OS.
In summary, Willpower gets the job done, but only with some crude workarounds to get it to print. And I cannot save any of my files once they are complete - it only lets me save if I quit midway through an interview. Willpower could be a very useful product if Kiplinger just finished the details on the development of it.

Will Power Packed with Help,
By John Galt "TechGuy" (Bay Area, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kiplinger's WillPower 2004 Win/Mac (CD-ROM)
I think the thing that made me most impressed with this software was how MUCH came with it. Yes, it has the Healthcare Directive I wanted, but it also came with a Law Dictionary, Estate Planning Guide, and contacts for other information. This was a great buy for the money. And from a company that is an expert in the business.
