Quicken WillMaker is Nolo's "all in one" estate planning book, covering everything from the basics of wills to the latest information on living wills to sophisticated tax-saving strategies,. It provides readers straightforward explanations of every significant option available, so they can make the best decisions for their families. Best of all, your readers won't just understand wills, living trusts or financial power of attorney â€" they'll create them, quickly and easily. The interactive CD-ROM lets them make: -legal will -living trusts, including an AB (bypass) trust -living will (health care directive) -financial powers of attorney -documents for your executor -authorizations and agreements -child and elder care forms -promissory notes -credit repair documents -and more !

Need to know more? Here are in-depth details about what you can do with Quicken WillMaker Plus:

Your Will Provide for family, friends and charities. Name a personal guardian to care for young children. Specify the executor (or "personal representative") of your estate. Select a trusted person to manage property left to young people. Revise and update your will whenever you like.

Your Living Trust Make a basic trust, whether you're married or single. If married, you can create a AB trust (or bypass trust) and spare your heirs from potentially heavy estate taxes. Create subtrusts for minor children and young adults. Name custodians for property left to children. Change or revoke your trust at any time.

Your Living Will (Health Care Directive) Outline medical procedures that you want provided or withheld, if you can't speak for yourself. Specify whether or not you want your life prolonged through artificial means. Appoint someone to make sure your wishes are carried out.

Your Financial Power of Attorney Name someone to make your financial decisions, in case you are medically incapacitated -- and appoint an alternate in case that person cannot serve. Don't worry, you can grant as much authority as you wish.

Your Final Arrangements Plan a funeral or other ceremony. Clarify whether you want a cremation or burial. Select someone to oversee your final arrangements -- and more! Documents for Your Executor Make sure your executor ("personal representative" in some states) has all the forms and instructions he or she needs to do the job: Checklists, letters, notices, claim forms -- and more.

Personal Finance Documents Over a dozen forms that let you handle financial situations you might face on any given day, such as disputing a credit card charge, lending or borrowing money to friends or family, creating bills of sale -- and more!

Home & Family Documents Whether you need to authorize someone to travel with your child to another country, want to lend your car to a friend, or create an agreement with a trusted person to take care of your elderly parent, Quicken WillMaker Plus can handle all these family situations -- and many more!

4.0 out of 5 stars Book and software, April 5, 2006
This review is from: Quicken Willmaker Plus 2006 Edition: Estate Planning Essentials (Paperback)
This "book" is basically a printed user's guide to the Quicken Willmaker Plus 2006 software, which is included on the accompanying CD-ROM. That is, you get the software itself and a thick printed guide, not a bad deal at all. The guide is actually more than just a manual; instead it gives you a lot of background information on property rights, wills, living wills, living trusts, estate planning, etc. I think this is a better bundle than the software itself which doesn't even come with a printed manual.

5.0 out of 5 stars Updates with latest laws mean always up-to-date legal documents., August 26, 2006
By 
This review is from: Quicken Willmaker Plus 2006 Edition: Estate Planning Essentials (Paperback)
Great software. Simple to use. The legal team at Quicken/NOLO appear to constantly be surveying the legal findings in the courts and automaticly push the implications into the software as updates. The best part is that as the laws change, the software alerts you when you need to reprint and resign your legal documents so that they comply with the latest laws. It is the perfect balance of accurate legal advice at a very fair price.
