Quick & Legal Will Book 7th Edition

This book on trusts and wills is very informative.

I liked the book but I really thought I was buying software.

I thought I would make my own will, having heard stories that wills are expensive. My brother did indeed write up his own will around the year 1982, using some sort of publication (I don't have any idea what it was). When he did pass away, his will did indeed hold up in court. I was the Executor, and also was listed as inheriting all of his possessions. It was really painless and I don't recall much, if any expense involved in executing the will. So, I'm sure a person can write a successful and legally binding will, using a publication designed to lead one step by step through the process.

Having to make out a Will is concerning. Making sure all your loved ones are taken care of. Also making sure what is put down is followed. A daunting task.

I had read the book before, which came with a CD so that I could print forms that I needed. The copy I got did not have a CD, requiring me to go online to get the forms I want. I'm not too happy about that difference.

I found this will form book very useful to produce a complete will. You don't have to answer online questions. There are forms for various marital and children and domestic partnership circumstances. Also, it has the special language for each state's requirements because they vary and make a great deal of difference in whether the settlement of the property will be easy or hard on the executor. If you are more or less used to doing documents, I recommend this book over the Q and A of DIY online will websites. You can download the forms and special state-by-state language, or, if you are not online, you can type it all in. The wills are short unless you need a trust for children.

Haven’t finished it yet but has plenty of information in it

Like most Nolo books, this promises to address the most common cases simply and clearly, while highlighting the ways your case may *not* be simple. You will come away from reading this book quickly and with a very superficial understanding of probate -- but having completed your will! You will *not* come away with a list of 16 more questions than when you started, and feeling like you need to talk to a lawyer (unless, of course, your case is not simple -- but most are).
