What is Quicken Family Lawyer?

Quicken financial software solved a problem in my household caused, ironically, by computers themselves. Proliferating ATMs made managing a joint checkbook too hard for our manual method of monthly balancing. Quicken Family Lawyer, in contrast, aims to solve a problem caused by more traditional factors: a growing family, aging parents, accumulating assets, and complex negotiations with strangers.

Quicken Family Lawyer 6.0b is a collection of 61 legal documents, organized into nine categories (estate planning, family/personal, powers of attorney, health/medical, consumer credit, real estate, financial, corporate, and employment). Included are a living will and a last will and testament, plus various forms for dealing with creditors; buying, selling, or renting property; and negotiating employment.

If you don't know where to start, the Document Suggestions feature will ask you a series of questions, then give you a list of documents you might find useful. Unfortunately, double-clicking on the document names does not lead you directly into the documents. This problem recurs throughout Family Lawyer. For example, the online help is understandable and easy to use, allowing you to search by keyword or category. Once you find the form you want, however, you can't double-click on its name to begin filling it out. Instead, you must return to the home screen and select New Document or open a new document from the File menu.

Once you've chosen a form, the program interviews you and constructs a document incorporating your answers. Alternatively, you can fill in the blanks to complete the forms. When you're done, Family Lawyer verifies that it has all the necessary information to make the document legally binding.

The Last Word Quicken Family Lawyer has many useful tools, helpful explanations (online, not in the cursory 22-page manual), and enough legal advice to get you through each document. Its wide selection, however, comes at the cost of depth. If you’re interested in estate planning, for example, Nolo Press's WillMaker 5.0 (which has a 200-page manual and lets you create a will with 100 bequests, compared with Quicken’s 16) might he a better tool.

Still, if you’re like most people — racing toward the inevitable with no legal documentation in hand — Quicken Family Lawyer offers an affordable, functional way to cover the basics.
