Review by PD

Other reviews for WillMaker 2012 have gone into some seriously good detail. My situation is pretty standard (I need a will to protect my family/our stuff if something happens to me) and I’m going to assume that most of the people searching this software out are in the same situation, so here goes (my 2011 review is basically the same; this new version has a few new features such as PDF output, a new interface, and best of all, digital asset tracking. But basically the content of the software is updated to support any new or changed laws):nnWillmaker has been around for a long time, I did toy with a version several years ago. Since then they’ve really tightened up the interface to make it EASY to go through the will-making process. I really like that I can start the process, do a few steps, then save it and come back another night. For most of us who own or rent a home, own stuff, and have loved ones, Willmaker is going to deliver exactly what you need without the long process and major expense of sitting with a lawyer. Plus, you can have a will TONIGHT to protect your family. Even if you wanted to go that route of a laywer which is always a good idea if you have the money, I highly suggest you do the process with Willmaker first. Here’s why: there are a lot of little things you need, especially inventory of goods, etc. Willmaker makes those needs clear in order to produce a will or trust. Therefore you’ll know what’s expected if you do go forth with a lawyer… imagine showing up and not having all you need.

For the money it seems crazy not to use this software and get a will set in stone. The interface is easy to use and is quite intuitive… it asked things I wouldn’t have thought of. PLUS, you really want the latest version if you proceed with this! The 2012 version is set up with 2011 laws, so you’ll want the laytest available version if you are seriously planning to create your will.

Side note: I run 64-bit Windows 7 and everything installed and ran fine, FWIW. Thanks!
