WillMaker
WillMaker is estate planning software for Mac that helps people create wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and related legal documents.
What is WillMaker?
WillMaker is a Mac estate planning app for creating common personal legal documents at home. It is designed for individuals and families who want guided help preparing a will, living trust, health care directive, financial power of attorney, and other related forms. The app walks users through interview-style questions and uses those answers to generate documents they can review, print, and update. A downloadable Mac version is offered alongside an online version, so users may encounter it as locally installed software rather than only as a website. Nolo publishes WillMaker and provides product support, updates, and related legal information for the software.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
WillMaker is legitimate estate planning software, but it is used for highly important personal and financial decisions. Expect it to store sensitive information such as family details, assets, beneficiaries, and health care instructions if you use it for real documents. Keep the app only if you use it, protect your Mac account, and store any exported or backed-up documents in a secure location. Before relying on completed documents, make sure you follow your state's signing, witnessing, or notarization requirements where applicable.
Recommendation: Keep WillMaker if you use it to prepare or maintain estate planning documents on your Mac. If you no longer use it, you can remove the app, but first save any documents or backups you want to keep because deleting it may make those files harder to find later.
