Quicken Lawyer 2002 Personal Deluxe Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When our insurance guy recommended an estate planner and told us he would give us a great deal and only charge $1500 for our living trust and wills, we immediately looked to Nolo. Six months ago, they hadn't partnered with Quicken to provide this product so we bought the Willmaker/Living Trust Bundle here on ... They ought to call it a bundle because of what it saved us. It was easy to use, easy to understand, and saved us a ton of money. I can only imagine that the partnership with Quicken has made it even better. I've used their products for years in my business, and I don't think there are any better. Get this and do yourself a favor.

Home and Business Attorney Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The forms can not be printed with blank lines to allow users to enter information on a printed copy. Some documents are very crude and do not include any professional formatting (no headers to identify the document). This looks like Windows 3.1 software! It does not allow long file names and does not allow users to create folders when selecting "File - Save As". The most professional part of this software is the installation utility!

Quicken WillMaker Plus 2009 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Installation was very easy on my Vista PC. Laws continue to change, so I like the availability of free legal updates through 2009.
I have already created several documents. The process is very easy. Documents you need to complete are suggested based upon your answers to a few simple questions. Documents are tailored to your home state. Help and examples are available at every step. The interface is basic, but effective.
The program actually goes beyond estate planning, to include personal finance and home/family documents. My software came with a nice 200 page YOUR LITTLE LEGAL COMPANION paperback, and a free 500 page PLAN YOUR ESTATE e-book.
I can see why this is America's #1 estate planning software. I highly recommend this software.

Quicken Legal Business Pro 2010 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)What you get:
1. Book: Your Little Legal Companion-small paperback book with thoughts on every life event you can think of, from getting your first apartment, car or pet to dealing with identity theft or divorce. Not comprehensive and detailed but it covers enough topics to bring up things you might otherwise not have considered.
2. CD:
a. FORMS-some very basic forms for basic business needs. Invoices, job aplications, power of attorney. These are probably all something you could find free on-line. Those included here are customizable with step by step instructions.
b. E Books- 4 "books" are included with information on setting up and running a small business. The are launched in a separate window "book reader". I recommend using the "show" option which opens a navigation pane at the left of the screen so you can better move around within the books. There is a ton of information included, all cross referenced with clickable links to other books/chapters containing information associated to your topic. A search tab is included to look for specific topics if you don't want to guess what book/chapter they might be in.
c. Link to [...] which provides a legal encyclopedia which is free to anyone-not just those who have bought this program- and includes a lot of the same information as this program.
So to summarize: A lot of what is included in this package is already available to you on-line. This program's raison d'être is to consolidate all that information and would make it easier to research and stay in compliance. ONE BIG CONCERN- if this is the 2010 version, why is some of the information given "as of 2008"? Example: :Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs). Set up by individuals, not by the business itself. Annual contribution limit of $5,000 (in 2008)". It should not only include what the 2009 limitations are but provide some way to automatically update for subsequent years. An e-book is not going to do that which will force me to go on-line to research changes for the current year thus defeating most of the purpose of having this program. Seems like a pretty big flaw. BOTTOM LINE: a good resource but not going to replace your CPA.

Family Lawyer 2004 Home and Business Deluxe Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.

Quicken Lawyer 2003 Personal Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This software made my attorney blush! I had previously used Family Lawyer to create estate planning papers that, upon my attorney's review, were filled with so many legal errors that they were useless.
So I turned to Quicken Lawyer -- what a difference a software package can make! Each time I wanted a form it took me through a series of questions and answers, and whenever I had a problem or questions I could find answers in the sidebars. Best of all my attorney couldn't find any errors, he just confirmed that I wanted what I was stating in the documents! I can't recommend this package enough. Never has a single purchase seemed so valuable.

Quicken Willmaker Plus 2010 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased Quicken Willmaker 2010 only because I read in several sources that Willmaker includes features for creating Living Trust and AB Trust. I decided to pay more money to get the latest version (2010). Imagine my disappointment when I found that in version 2010 Intuit removed all features for creating Living Trusts! Not they decided to charge more than hundred bucks online for a simple trust document. Finally I bought the older Quicken Willmaker 2009 and yep, now I can create trust documents.
Intuit already has bad reputation for forcing people to upgrade, removing some features, making new products more complex because of continually rewriting their product to justify selling new upgrades every year. But this dirty move with Quicken Willmaker was the last straw. I fail to understand why would anyone introduce a newer version of a commercial product only to provide less value and to sell online services for 3x more money!

Kiplinger's Home & Business Attorney Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This product puts together a very good collection of legal documents (for both home and business users). I sent the documents generated by this program to my clients and business associates and they all were very impressed (even my attorney friends). It is like you have an attorney resides in your computer.
The other major benefits are time and money saving. Using this program I can get a nice legal document ready to go in matter of hours in stead of days or even weeks and it has saved me few thousand dollars (if I opted for using attorney).
It asks the right / necessary questions before generating the documents and gives good explanations about the meaning of the legal term in case you need to know more about it. I seldom got lost using it.
It might not be a good word processor as MS WORD (I always export the document and edit it using WORD) but it is an A class legal document generator. For me, this is one of the very few S/W products that really worths many times of the price I paid for it.

Quicken WillMaker Plus 2011 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This program contains some excellent resources for estate and end-of-life planning and could save you considerable money in legal costs. I have some experience in this field from the professional end, and I know that simple wills can be a lucrative proposition for attorneys. Quite often, it's a simple matter of plugging in the names of the beneficiaries and printing them off. No reason to pay an attorney to do this if you can do it yourself. (That said, if your situation is complicated, you need to hire the professional. Better that you spend the money now than leave your grieving family to work it out after you die.)
I have Windows Vista, and it installed painlessly. I had no trouble with launch, answered its questions to see what documents it recommended for me and drew up at first a simple will--leaving everything to my husband or, if he predeceases me, my son; dividing my properly unevenly among my family if my son also does not survive me. The only hassle here is in the uneven division. It says it does the math for you, but that's not exactly true--it totals it, yes, but you still need to be able to work out that so-and-so gets 1/9th while somebody else gets 1/6th. It's probably a whole lot easier if you divide it evenly, but there are some in my family who need more and some in my family who deserve more. Fortunately, I can still manage my basic math. The will it produced in this case was just fine. Too, the program offers good information in its sidebars and provides easy access to usage guides online. (It even prompted me to name a guardian for my dog--a nice touch.)
When I was finished, it asked me if I would like to produce the same will for my husband--a nice feature. I didn't have to go through the process a second time.
After that, I went back to make things more complicated by leaving specific bequests--handy if you want your Aunt Sally's china to pass to cousin Gertrude. It performed well here, too.
Since I was testing this product for Vine, I also poked at some of the other documents provided. It's really comprehensive, from direction for somebody taking care of your elderly relatives to authorization for somebody to take your child out of the country, from instructions for your housesitter to a "notice to put name on do not call list", there's a whole suite of useful documents in here, all very thoroughly explained and simple to use and print off. Moreover, with internet connection, it promises to offer any legal updates necessary to keep me up to date legally through the year.
Along with this package comes a free copy of Your Little Legal Companion: Helpful Advice for Life's Big Events from NOLO. I have nothing but respect for NOLO, but their definition of "legal" is pretty loose here. There's some good legal advice, to be sure, but at a random page opening (p. 151), I see the following tips (for travel): (1) contact your embassy in case of trouble; (2) bring toilet paper; (3) send postcards; (4) be careful with the food and bring Pepto Bismal; (5) get last minute information on U.S. international travel advisory and (6) don't worry that your dog will hold a grudge against you for being gone. This may all be good advice, but not much of it is legal. The book is full of this kind of thing. It's an entertaining read, but pretty light on law.
It also included a free download of Nolo's Encyclopedia of Everyday Law: Answers to Your Most Frequently Asked Legal Questions. Updated in 2008 (at least, the copy I downloaded), this book does give a pretty comprehensive overview of the law and some good, common sense suggestions for getting by in legally challenging environments: buying or selling a house; getting along with your neighbors, landlord or tenants; operating effectively when working for yourself or others; filing patents, etc. This book is a good added value, even if it is a digital copy, and it manages to remain highly readable even in discussing the law.
Overall, I think this package is a very good value and likely to be quite useful to individuals who want to draw up some of their own legal documents. You'll still need to follow some formalities on your own (for instance, my state requires two witnesses and a notary public for many legal documents), but you may save considerable money over attorneys fees, and if your needs are simple that's worth it in itself. The additional books are a nice touch, even if one of them is pretty lightweight legally.
