Many companies publish books about estate planning, but Nolo is the only publisher to provide a complete solution to your readers' needs! Good in every state except Louisiana.
The book itself had some lows (legal jargon involved), some highs (mostly helpful explanations of said jargon), but the included software was very easy-to-use and comes with all kinds of helpful extras.
And this is much cheaper than hiring a lawyer to ask you the same questions the software asks.
Get your will written, take the printout to a notary public, and have them witness your signature. That's it!
