“ignorant void of compassion injury lawyer”

★☆☆☆☆

written by JaylynLaw160 on 13/05/2016

I was appalled by the ugly unkind treatment I received from one of your injury lawyers, (who are supposed to have compassion) for potential clients who suffer serious injuries because of the negligence and/or intentional acts of others. She was rude, condescending, nasty, accusatory, wrong, and a complete displeasure to speak with.She said, "I suppose you want a contingency fee"; well any intelligent attorney knows that that is the fee method when a person suffers serious injuries and has spent lots of money on medical and other costs because of the disabling cardiac injuries .

“Good Product with One Major Flaw”

★★★☆☆

written by LizethWelch304 on 04/12/2014

The software does a really good job of guiding you through the steps to create your own will, power of attorney, etc. The program is very thorough and easy to follow. It gets a little clunky when it comes time to print, review and revise. The program only allows for pdf versions of the final documents, so it is impossible to reformat. Even minor corrections require you to go back through all the steps. This program will help you create a good, basic will in accordance with the laws of your state. But, it will be a really frustrating process to revise or correct those documents. It might literally be easier to re-type the entire document than to try and revise it using this program. I wish I had realized that I could not save the documents in Word. Next time, I will likely look for another product that allows me a little more control over the finished product.

“Not worth the price”

★★★☆☆

written by on 05/01/2014

While attempting to create a Will on Willmaker Plus 2014, which came with online access to a Living Trust, I realized that the will software would not allow me to easily specify the disposition of my pets and also other bequests. After hours of trying to make the bequest the way I thought it should be done, I gave up, and turned it to a pass-thru will, which was also not an option in the software, and attempted to make the specific bequests into the online living trust. However the Living Trust software was worse. Among other things that were difficult, it automatically created a Remainder AB Trust. That sub-trust should have been a choice, but was not. I e-mailed NOLO, and never got a response. Don't bother unless you want only a VERY simple document, that may be wrong.

“Great Service”

★★★★★

written by seandou on 28/09/2013

I must thank you for your phone assistance. I am not computer literate and was having problems downloading an e-program. I called in and your staff was so helpful and patient that I wish everyone I have to deal with on the phone could take lessons from you. Very Happy with your service.

“Best Resource Best Customer Service!”

★★★★★

written by JDClark on 28/08/2013

As new to being a landlord, I reached out to a trusted friend for a referral to a Real Estate Attorney. Well, I got more than I bargained for: An excellent attorney AND a recommendation to the NOLO line of books. We quickly invested in the California Landlord's Law Book which has proved in the last 2 days to be an invaluable resource for us! The Real Estate Attorney said the NOLO books are a great resource and the only thing we should be aware of is ensuring we have the most up to date version as California laws change, with unfortunate frequency. Now we have this resource, I can do the initial leg work, and if it gets a little hairy, the Attorney can review the work, so I'm investing in attorney fees for review time, not drafting. And when I had questions and concerns, the NOLO Customer Service department came through quickly and efficiently, getting me to the correct URL to download forms that came along with the Physical book I purchased in the bookstore. For sure, this NOLO book, and it's updated versions, will have a standing place on our bookshelf!

“Excellent Product with Excellent Support!!!”

★★★★★

written by ChrisinSouthCarolina on 11/07/2013

I have been extremely happy with my prior WillMaker software - I did all the necessary forms for our estate and management of our life (POA, Living Will, etc.) The program is extremely easy to use and is most thorough. I am now upgrading to their WillMaker Plus to update all documents and to also make a Living Trust. Their WillMaker kit includes their Online Living Trust service - an incredible value!!! I needed assistance knowing which package to buy and Dori at Nolo spent over 20 minutes answering all of my questions. Dori is most knowledgeable and really showed care and concern in educating me on the various decision points I needed to know. She went beyond just answering my questions - Dori made sure I understood my various options and their impacts on my workflow. It is refreshing to find someone who is customer focused. Dori also pointed me to their online educational resources which will help as I set-up our Trust. So a Five Star Rating!!!

“Products you can count on”

★★★★★

written by on 26/06/2013

As a first time landlord and business owner with not a lot of income to spend on lawyers, Nolo's website and landlord/business books were a godsend. The website and products are written clearly and concisely. The only thing better would be a video!

“NOLO Service is A-1”

★★★★★

written by Nolo_Lady on 01/05/2013

Nolo Press is A-1 when it comes to providing immediate information and customer service. I have not yet come into contact with a comparable service company. I was looking for ways to get Permission and music clearances for my film projects. I ordered my book NOLO PRESS HOW TO GET PERMISSION, found a problem with the CD and once I contacted NOLO they took care of if immediately NQA (No questions Asked) and they made sure that I was a satisfied customer. Now, that is A-1 Customer Service! I would recommend NOLO Press to any small business or anyone looking for immediate information about how to find answers to legal or business questions, find startup legal documents, gain valuable business legal information, and an array of amazing resources to guide you on your way to find more resources. I love the collection of NOLO Press books, they are a must for any library and you can shop with comfort with NOLO Press, knowing you will be fully taken care of and satisfied with it's online service. I was expecting a mail in order, but, I got an immediate download.. Wow! that was rapid service! I look forward to doing more business with NOLO Press just because of this exemplary experience. THANK YOU, NOLO PRESS!!

“Buying My First Home”

★★★★★

written by WaltL on 08/04/2013

I recently purchased a book on buying your first home from Amazon and had trouble downloading forms. I contacted Nolo tech support and with the help of one of the staff and his wisdom and patience, got to download the forms. Nolo truly does have a wonderful support staff and talented people.

“Great Do it yourself ”

★★★★☆

written by on 07/04/2013

The product gets updated and is easy to use. Has much more than I need but, is perfect for me to control and update my will, trust, etc. Compared to scheduling time with an attorney, telling them what you want, reviewing it, and approving or modifying the changes.

“For Sale by Owner in California”

★★★★★

written by on 21/03/2013

My first FSBO from Nolo press was bought around 1991. Since then this is the 4th property that we will try to sell ourselves. Never had a problem with the first three. I haven't read the issue I just bought, but I am hoping it is as excellent as the previous one. The edelivery was fantastic! Thanks, Nolo Press.

“Credit repair kit”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 18/03/2013

I bought a repair kit, and all i got was a zipped folder that was corrupted and was unable to open it, then when i tried to redownload it from my email it said i had reached my maximum number of downloads (3). Going to have to just ask for a refund i guess. Average wait time to respond to my request is 48 hours, that's a long time to wait for questions about something i just bought.

“Downloadable Of Quicken WillMaker Plus 2013”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 13/03/2013

Cannot go into key elements because we hit a road block right in the beginning of getting the downloadable version. Never could download this version and have tried contacting service department with no avail help!!! Its been a week and no help is in site. Just wasted our money and cannot even call anyone to get support help??? Not a very good company if you cannot get immediate help. Would not recommend the downloadable version. Maybe the CD would of been a better choice. But now have to jump thru hoops to get this resolved before trying the CD version.

“LLC formation”

★★★★★

written by JohnCosmides on 12/03/2013

I operate a lawyer referral service for business and corporate clients. Yet, when I turned my service's parent company into an LLC, I went to Nolo to form it. Their online registration process was simple, and included all the typical FAQs. Pleasantly, their confirmation email was their only communication with me. No pestering emails to sell me additional services. Within a few weeks, the LLC packet arrived in my mail, just as Nolo promised. It included the registered Articles of Organization, a completed Operating Agreement, and simple instructions reminding me to complete and mail the enclosed 1-page Statement of Information. The packet reminded me to pay my annual $800 fee and to file another Statement of Information every two years. Easy as that.

Asked by Ken1516 on 24th June 2017 Report this content
I am using Nolo software (2017 edition) to create a living trust (aka Declaration of Trust). Part 10 (Death of a Grantor) says that upon the death of the first grantor, the surviving grantor shall divide the property listed in Schedules A, B and C into two separate trusts (trust #1 and trust #2) and be the trustee of both trusts. Trust #1 becomes irrevocable and Trust #2 is revocable. We own all property jointly (Schedule A). Why do I want to do this? The last thing I want to when my spouse dies is to create another trust, which would probably require the help of a lawyer. What's the reason for the second trust? How can the second trust be avoided?

Thanks for answering this question.
