Review by terpfan1980

I really hope that it’s a long, long, long time before I might really need the benefits that this product offers me (or my family), I know this is a vitally important task/area of life that I want to have well handled.

Just a little personal history. Back in July 2009 my first wife was killed in a car wreck (not her fault, someone in a much bigger vehicle literaly ran over her vehicle as she tried to make a left turn across the road). After that tragic accident I was inspired to do some estate planning of my own and I’ve been on a quest ever since to try to be as prepared as possible for my family’s sake. I snagged an earlier version of this product and went through the process of answering the interview type questions as to what I wanted for my family, who should handle what roles after my death, who should get specific bequeaths, etc. A very simple and fairly painless process. Really the worst of it was having to think through in advance who would need the most support and who should handle the important roles if you pass away.

A few short years later, just a few weeks ago, my youngest brother met his own end thanks to another tragic accident. (Fell off a roof/ladder, into a large wooden object he was working on, fractured his skull.) Thankfully, he was a man of deep faith, as was his wife and family, and given the fact that his last project was one of trying to put a steeple on a church, it’s a safe assumption that he died doing something that he could truly feel good about. Because of prior service (military and police) he had the foresight to have made up a will that his widow was able to use to handle his arrangements after his death, so even though it’s been an emotionally trying time for her, she has had the comfort of her faith and the benefit of his good planning to help get her through it all with a roadmap he had made up well in advance.

Wills and estate planning aren’t fun topics, at least not for most people, and yet they are vitally important things to do in life. Quicken WillMaker Plus helps to make the process easier, which in turn helps to get users to GET IT DONE. The software is very reasonably priced and for most potential users, it is really all they would need. Even if you may have a more complex estate to deal with, by using WillMaker Plus you can get a good start on everything you should do and think of doing to handle your estate planning.

VERY highly recommended.
