Summary: Comments on previous review by Ms. King
Review: I used other software to draft a Trust several years ago and needed to make changes. The Nolo Software just purchased fell short in documents needed to support a Trust document package. You need a Living Will, Pour Over Will, Durable Power of Attorney and other support documents to help the everyday individual set up a Trust. If this is all there is... it might be better than nothing if you can't afford an attorney and I suggest buying a book to help you cover all of your legal concerns. Doing something to protect your estate is better than doing nothing

Rating: 2 stars

Summary: Comments on previous review by Ms. King
Review: Let me confess: I work for Nolo, the maker of Living Trust Maker. I just wanted to correct what I see is a misconception in Ms. King's review of the product. Ms.King is technically correct in stating that Living Trust Maker does not include certain documents. However, the documents she cites are not themselves part of a Living Trust. All the documents she notes might be necessary for most people whether or not they need a living trust. I don't want this to be a sales pitch, just an understanding of what a living trust can do, and can't do. Nolo's products are not "one size fits all" -- everyone's case is unique. That is why Nolo produces a number of books, forms, and software to address these needs. You can educate yourself in Nolo's free on-line legal encyclopedia, and informative FAQ's about such issues; then decide for yourself what components of a will or living trust will suit your needs. Nolo does indeed offer those other documents Ms. King mentions. You just may not need all or any or some of them depending on your individual needs. And Nolo always states that if you have any questions about your individual needs, you should seek the advice of a qualified attorney. The Living Trust Maker software does just what it's advertised to do: provide a basic living trust. It does not fall short on this account.
