Are you looking to prepare legal documents but want to do so in the comfort of your home using your computer? Well, Nolo Quicken WillMaker & Trust 2021 might be the software program you need. In this review, I’ll explore the features and pros and cons of this software program in the hopes that it will help you decide if this is the right program for you.
In a previous article I wrote, 5 Legal Documents Everyone Should Have, as the title says, I discuss five important documents everyone should have. These same documents are included in this version of Quicken WillMaker & Trust 2021. But not only those five forms, but the program also comes with over 35 documents and two eBooks that download directly to your computer. Below there is a table of the documents included.
A great feature of this program is you can use it for multiple family members. This means, for instance, you can make a will for yourself, your parents, your children, etc. without purchasing multiple programs.
If you’re concerned about the legality of the program and the documents it helps you create, Quicken WillMaker & Trust has a team of lawyer-editors working to ensure each form is state-specific as laws do vary from state to state. For instance, did you know in Florida, your primary residence must go to your spouse or minor children?
Both PC and Mac versions are available, so be sure to choose the one that is right for you. This is very important because there are no returns or refunds. This may sound harsh, but it’s pretty typical as far as computer software goes. Once you purchase your program, you’re provided with updates throughout the year of your product – through 2021.

Overall, Quicken WillMaker & Trust 2021 gives you a lot for your money. Over 35 documents and two eBooks that download directly to your computer. Doing these types of documents in the comfort of your own home gives you the freedom to work on them when you choose…take a break…come back at some other time to work on them some more.
Even though there is a legal team behind Nolo Quicken WillMaker & Trust 2021, I would suggest taking your completed documents to an attorney to be sure you have everything done the way you want and to your state’s specifications. Also, estate planning documents are not valid in Louisiana, U.S. Territories, or Canada. If you live in those areas, this isn’t the program for you.
