Average Rating: 
Rating:  - The description of this item is Misleading
The ad Amazon.com printed for this item includes "real estate" in the description of the forms included. However, according to the box description, there are only trivial worksheets and rental forms included. No real estate sales forms, no buyer offer form, no forms for seller disclosure, lead paint disclosure, or other standard real estate forms. I can't vouch for the rest of the program cuz I returned it unopened when the box arrived. To me, it was worthless.

Rating: - This program is a waste of time and money
I wish I could return this software and get a refund! Having just gone through a divorce and trying to keep my business afloat, I figured I could skip my lawyer and do my own revised estate plan. So I went ahead, filled out estate-planning documents and took it to my lawyer for what was suppossed to be an hour's review. Turns out the forms had a lot of legal errors which made them pretty useless. I still can't afford an attorney so I'm trying out the alternatives next.
Rating: - Simply terrible
I see people comparing Family Lawyer and Quicken Lawyer and get the feeling that Broderbund is doing a bit of "negative marketing" against Quicken.
I've used both, and Quicken Lawyer far and away exceeded Family Lawyer. Family Lawyer doesn't catch mistakes, isn't up to date and provides several useless forms (like "Personal Fact Sheet" and "Letter to School"). Also, information is sparse and generic, often giving me a form and not showing how to use it.

Rating:  - Good Software
Good software, but I really did not understand why Broderbund put out this and the WillWriter 2002. It appears it had almost the same number of documents and it uses the exact same software. I got the more expensive version, because I thought they would have more choices on how to put the Will together. Unless you need something odd like the 401k document, get the WillWriter 2002 if you are only interested in writing a Will. In my opinion, they should only put out the Family Lawyer set, at the ...
