    Want to know more? Here’s a closer look at what you can do with Nolo’s Quicken WillMaker & Trust:

    • Wills. The heart of every estate plan is a will, also known as a last will and testament. This legal document puts you in control of who inherits your property and who would take care of your children if it were ever necessary. Without a will, state law determines these issues. Your Quicken WillMaker & Trust will also allows you to name an executor, appoint a trusted person to manage property left to young people, forgive debts, and make a plan for what happens to your pets.
    • Living Trusts. Use a living trust to help your estate avoid probate after you die. Like a will, a living trust distributes property to the people you name. But unlike a will, property that passes through a living trust can be passed directly to your beneficiaries, without waiting for court approval—saving your beneficiaries time and money. Quicken WillMaker & Trust includes individual living trusts, shared living trust (for couples), trust revocations, and certifications of trust.
    • Transfer on Death Deeds. Use the Quicken WillMaker & Trust transfer on death deeds to transfer your home to your beneficiaries when you die, without probate. Before your death, you still own the property, and you can revoke the deed (or make a new one) at any time. Like living trusts, transfer on death deeds keep the property out of probate. Like wills, they are simple to make, revise, and revoke.
    • Health Care Directives. In a health care directive, you can lay out your wishes for medical care (living will) and name someone to carry out your instructions (power of attorney for health care). The health care directives you make with Quicken WillMaker & Trust provide guidance for your loved ones if you are not able to make medical decisions for yourself. Making your wishes known (and legally binding) can spare your loved ones uncertainty and conflict during what would already be a difficult time.
    • Durable Powers of Attorney for Finances. A durable power of attorney ensures that someone you trust (called your "agent" or "attorney-in-fact") will be on hand to manage the many practical, financial tasks that will arise if you become incapacitated. For example, bills must be paid, bank deposits must be made and someone must handle insurance and benefits paperwork. In most cases, a durable power of attorney for finances is the best way to take care of tasks like these. You can also give your attorney-in-fact authority over your digital assets.
    • Final Arrangements. Ease the burden on your loved ones by leaving clear descriptions about your preferences for burial, cremation, memorials, obituaries, and more.
    • Information for Caregivers and Survivors. Organize your information so that your survivors don’t have to. Use these documents to give them details about everything from bank accounts, to passwords, to the names of people you’d like contacted in the event of your illness or death.
    • Letter to Survivors. Use the Letter to Survivors to leave your loved ones detailed explanations about your decisions. For example, you may want to let them know why you made certain gifts or named a particular person to be your executor. You can also use your letter to leave some general thoughts about your life.
    • Personal Finance Documents: Over a dozen forms let you handle common financial situations, such as lending or borrowing money between friends or family, creating a bill of sale, and closing a credit card account.
    • Home & Family Documents: Practical forms you can use every day to help run your home and keep your family safe, including authorizations and agreements, promissory notes, limited powers of attorney, and child and elder care forms.

    *Estate planning documents not valid in Louisiana, U.S. Territories or Canada.
