This estate-planning program also includes documents for promissory notes, notices to terminate credit cards, and child-, elder-, and pet-care agreements. Choose a document and the program presents relevant information and steps you through filling out the document.

Each document is cross-referenced to a paper manual and online help. You can also get plain-English answers to legal questions using the legal encyclopedias and dictionaries at www.nolo.com. You can edit your documents in the on-screen preview and export them in RTF format. Best of all, updated documents reflecting changes in the law are posted monthly to the Nolo site.

This program bests the others with its legal breadth and ease of use.
