Summary

America's No. 1 estate planning software helps you create a will, living trust, living will -- and much more!

Help protect your family and your assets, and save on legal fees! Quicken WillMaker Plus 2009 provides the legal forms you need. So comprehensive, the software assembles your forms from among 40,000 document possibilities -- but so easy to use, you'll have them finished in minutes.

PLUS! When you register your software, you can download a free copy of our latest book, Plan Your Estate.

Simply launch Quicken WillMaker Plus to create your own:

  • Will
  • Living Trusts, including an AB Trust
  • Health Care Directive:
    • Living Will
    • Health Care Power of Attorney 
  • Financial Powers of Attorney
  • Final arrangements document
  • Important documents for executors

The software also provides forms you can use every day, such as authorizations and agreements, promissory notes, and child and elder care forms.

For each document, Quicken WillMaker Plus takes you through a step-by-step interview. Your documents will automatically reflect the laws of your state. If you have any questions, simply check out the comprehensive onscreen legal manual. Expert tech support is also available.

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 Health Care Directive lets people who care for you make important decisions about your life and health when you can't. Create a:

Health Care Power of Attorney
Permit a loved one to make important medical decisions for you if you are unable to do so yourself.

Living Will
Specify whether 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. 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 lending or borrowing money to friends or family, creating bills of sale, ending a credit card account -- 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!

Estate planning documents not valid in Louisiana.
