Here are in-depth details about what you can do with Quicken WillMaker Plus: Your Will: Provide for family, friends and charities, name a personal guardian to care for young children, specify the executor (or "personal representative") of your estate, select a trusted person to manage property left to young people, and revise and update your will whenever you like. Your Living Trust: Make a basic trust, whether you're married or single (if married, you can create an AB trust (or bypass trust) and spare your heirs from potentially heavy estate taxes), create subtrusts for minor children and young adults, name custodians for property left to children, and change or revoke your trust at any time. Your Health Care Directive: Let people who care for you make important decisions about your life and health when you can't. Your Health Care Power of Attorney: Permit a loved one to make important medical decisions for you if you are unable to do so yourself. Your Living Will: Specify whether you want your life prolonged through artificial means and appoint someone to make sure your wishes are carried out. Your Financial Power of Attorney: Name someone to make your financial decisions, in case you are medically incapacitated. Don't worry, you can grant as much or as little authority as you wish. Your Final Arrangements: Plan a funeral or other ceremony, clarify whether you want a cremation or burial and select someone to oversee your final arrangements. Plus, many more documents! Documents for Your Executor: Make sure your executor ("personal representative" in some states) has all the forms and instructions he or she needs to do the job: Checklists, letters, notices, claim forms -- and more. Personal Finance Documents: Over a dozen forms that let you handle financial situations you might face on any given day, such as lending or borrowing money to friends or family, creating bills of sale, ending a credit card account -- and more! Home & Family Documents: Whether you need to authorize someone to travel with your child to another country, want to lend your car to a friend, or create an agreement with a trusted person to take care of your elderly parent, Quicken WillMaker Plus can handle all these family situations -- and many more! Estate planning documents not valid in Louisiana. America's No. 1 estate planning software helps you create your own will, living will, living trust, financial power of attorney -- and much more.
