Quite simply, I became a Nolo fan some 15 years ago. Nolo helped my husband and I handle many legal questions as we got older. We used Nolo's help for lease and landlord challenges, to write a will, a... See more

A chat with your customer suppor was abruptly terminated.

I started a chat with your customer support person or robot. The I stated the following question:
***
I have created a draft of a Living Trust by using  WillMaker & Trust 2023.
This trust holds only one property currently owned by me and my wife as community property with right of survivorship, and I and my wife are co-trustees of the living trust. Part 10. Death of a Grantor of this trust is complex since it creates subtrusts as shown below. Is it possible to make Part 10 without creating subtrusts as shown by Part 10 Death of Grantor (without subtrusts)?
***
Part 10. Beneficiaries (without subtrusts)
When the deceased grantor passes away, the surviving grantor becomes the sole trustee of the trust property.
When the surviving grantor passes away, the successor trustee, that property shall be given to Michko Minoura  and Yoko Minoura on equal terms.
If Michiko Minoura or Yoko Minoura dies before the death of the surviving grantor, the property shall be given to to the surviving beneficiary.
****
Then I was asked whether I am asking for a lawyer's support or not. When I said "Not now". I was told that the chat is used only to introduce a lawyer", and the chat was abruptly terminated. I created living trust by using a Noro program in 2016 for another property. That living trust is working well now.

I felt Nolo has changed.

Hello Toshimi,

Thank you so much for your feedback. We understand why you are frustrated! That chat is designed to help people find a lawyer, not to support WillMaker. It was our mistake to have it on WillMaker's product page, and we have since removed it.

We hope you've been able to complete and finalize your trust. The 2023 version of WillMaker should seem familiar if you've used the 2016 version. In fact, if you use the *download* version of WillMaker 2023 (available in your customer portal), you will find your 2016 document on the Your Documents screen.

If you have any other questions, please call us at 1(800)728-3555 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. PST Monday through Friday, or email us at techsupport@nolo.com.

The excellent customer service provided by Kayelynn. She was genuinely kind and helpful; we need more people like her in the world, especially in customer service. This is a great company! I had previously purchased a 2020 version and 3 years later could not locate the download. They were able to send me a link to receive what I had previously paid for. I will definitely be a returning customer and refer friends and family to this great resource and business. THANK YOU!

Good product; problematic mechanics in opening and installing.

The product, itself, is good. The problem I had is that when I save an unfinished file, I could not open it by double clicking on the file (a standard way of opening a file). I had to call customer support and learned that it had to be opened from the file menu.
