Kiplinger WILLPower
Company: Block Financial Corporation
Estimated Price: $39.95

Kiplinger's WILLPower is a simple, yet thorough program that has three different types of future planning at your fingertips. In the Will Writer you can write a will, living trust, and other estate planning documents. In the Estate Manager you can view their personal information and make needed changes. The Plan Wizard helps you gather your personal information and get advice towards your own estate planning.

I went through the program using the Will Writer. What could be simplier? I entered the information I was asked for and then just followed the instructions. I ended up with a will that was tailored for my state (it is U.S. state-specific) and I used very little effort in creating it.

The program has many different documents, including Estate Planning, Power of Attorney, creating your own Living Will, and Estate Administration.

Kiplinger's WILLPower also has a resource section that provides you with instant help. This includes a FAQ section and a helpful Internet site that has over 20 online legal resources.

What is Included

Kiplinger's WILLPower comes with the CD and a short instruction book.

Requirements and Installation

Kiplinger's WILLPower requires 8 MB RAM, System 7.x or higher, 15 MB free disk space, double-speed CD-ROM, and a modem for Internet access.

Summary

Kiplinger's WILLPower is a great tool that helps you manage your estate with many of the same techniques the pros use, but for a lot less money! It is easy to use and can give you the peace of mind of knowing you have a way to protect your family. I really enjoyed the program!

N.B.:
Kiplinger's WILLPower(TM) is not a substitute for the advice of an attorney. Save on legal fees by drafting documents yourself, then talk to your attorney to finalize before use.
