5.0 out of 5 stars Great product set. A swiss army knife for simple legal documents., November 23, 2010

(What's this?)

I don't know if I would necessarily start a corporation with 250 employees with this software, but for most people, this software library will go a long way towards officially documenting their life's little legal affairs. Everything from buying a car to starting a small business, to even buying your own home (without an agent) can be accomplished with this software.

For those of you doing any of the above mentioned activities, this set should be perfect (for banks and IRS). For those looking to deal in large sums of money or complicated affairs - you are already talking to a lawyer anyway ... for those of us looking for a nice set of everyday legal forms and for those staring a business - this is a great and indispensable software set to get to up and running (looking very professional I might add).

5.0 out of 5 stars Still An Exceptional Buy. Quicken's LEGAL BUSINESS PRO: CONTRACTS AND FORMS 2011. A Critical Review., November 29, 2010

(What's this?)

For those who need basic legal advice; for those who need simple-to-understand explanations of laws the affect the creation of or the continuation of a business; for those who're unable to have a lawyer draft a contract, then Quicken (& Nolo's) Legal Business Pro is a must-have.

Legal Business Pro: Contracts and Forms 2011 is a cooperative effort by two companies: Quicken and Nolo.

Quicken is a software designer that primarily specializes in accounting and bookkeeping software. And, they've produced this series of legal and business disc with Nolo, a 40-year old company out of California that offers free and/or low-cost legal services to the underrepresented.

LBP 2011 is an update from last year's production, which I reviewed as priceless for the quality of information and the price. The only thing I wasn't thrilled with was the pocket "law book" which I found to take away from the importance of the set. I understood it was an attempt to make the package more palatable for college-age readers.

This year, the set up is identical. You have a no-frills grey interface with a header, drop-downs and side bar.

There's also a link that you can access from the header or sidebar that takes you directly to Nolo's website where you can access more current and detailed information. (* One important note, as of 11.28.10, if you install the software a message appears that says "software is no longer supported"--what does this mean? That LBP2012 is about to be produced? Some or all of the blank contractual forms are invalid? No longer upgradable for Windows XP? - nothing is explained and yet the software, contracts and internet connection to the site all work fine.)

The "law book" for LBP 2011 is much improved and looks more like a fun-fact book as opposed to a crude college-humor tome.

What will I find inside of interest?

Explanations and Contractual forms for:

* Buying and Selling A Business
* Buying and Selling Real Estate
* Contracts For Goods & Services
* Corporate Minutes & Consents
* Forms for Forming A Business
* Hiring Workers
* LLC Minutes & Consents
* Leasing A Space
* IRS Tax Forms
* Managing Finances
* Financial Forecasts & Worksheets
* Sample Letters and Policies.

All in all, there's well over thousands of dollars worth of free legal advice here. Considering a hour of consultation for a business lawyer is $200/ hr. here in Miami, this package alone will save you from seeing a lawyer until absolutely necessary.

5 tremendous stars.

(What's this?)

Quicken Legal Business is a good supplementary software system for organizing business records, and keeping documents in electronic form.

Unlike other books on CD, the included portable document files (PDF's) are editable with drop down sections that allow for direct data entry, rather than printing and handwriting forms. Also, the included free eBooks are generous, making the overall package a great package for entrepreneurs.
