Do You Have a Will?

The following products are available.

Quicken WillMaker Plus 2004 (http://www.nolo.com) creates wills, trusts, health care directives and more. If you are unsure how to answer, there is a comprehensive legal manual. There is online help that are encyclopedias and glossaries geared to lay people.

Legacy Writer (http://www.legacywriter.com) is a Web site that will help you create a will for $19.95. For an additional $9.95, you can revise your will an unlimited number of times for five years. You do not have this extra expense if you use a software program such as WillMaker Plus on your own computer. The site's easy-to-use questionnaire is filled with highlighted words and phrases.

LegalZoom (http://www.legalzoom.com) offers will services. It goes one step further than LegacyWriter. A paralegal proofs your will before it's printed. A standard will costs $59. For an additional $50, you get unlimited revisions for five years, plus LegalZoom will store your will for five years. LegalZoom's clean interface makes filling out the will easy. Many sections are dotted with yellow exclamation points. Click on these for a pop-up window that gives further clarification and examples. You can choose to have the will mailed or e-mailed to you.

Once a Will is created it still must be signed by two or three witnesses, depending on the state. The program or site you use will give specific information. In addition, wills created with WillMaker Plus or LegacyWriter are not valid in Louisiana. LegalZoom states that its wills are valid in all 50 states.

The American Bar Association does not endorse any products.
