The Last of the 16biticons
We began our round of 16-bit program revisions in 2004 with the releases of
Ohio Guardianship Forms (WOGF) and Ohio Adoption Forms
(WAdopt). Now we're celebrating the last of the 16-bit upgrades with
this special mid-summer release of Wrongful Death & Minors Claims (WMinor).
WMinor contains all the wrongful death and minor's
claims probate forms that comprise Section 14 of the Standard
Probate Forms as promulgated in Rules 51 and 52 of the Supreme
Courts Rules for the Superintendence of Common Pleas Courts.
WMinor has been completely rewritten with your ease-of-use in mind. This
new version has automatic continuation schedules for all the forms
that need it. You'll find a complete list below.
Like many of our other programs, WMinor is designed
with networks in mind, making it possible to centrally locate
your client files for easy backup and file synchronization.
WMinor takes care of all the calculations and prints
professional-looking forms and schedules that are in full
compliance with the Ohio Supreme Court's typographical
specifications for probate forms.
When you have a winning formula, you don't make changes. So,
following in the footsteps of our Probate Combo,
Wrongful Death & Minor's Claims for Windows
has no edit menus. If you want to fill out a portion of the probate
form, simply click in that spot on the form and begin typing. All
calculations, transfer of common information, and waivers and
consents complete themselves automatically. We've not only
included standard forms, but we've included automated retainer
agreements and self-compiling lists for medical, suit expenses and
other expenses. INCLUDED FORMS
We weren't satisfied to simply recompile the old WMinor
program into a 32-bit program. With more than enough programming
changes and user-suggestions accumulated over the years, we wanted
to do more than put a new wrapper on an old program. Here's a
comprehensive list of the included forms.

FEATURES
- Developed in and optimized for Windows XP
(although WMinor runs in any 32-bit version of
Windows including Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME
and Windows 2000)
- Automatic form completion - for the most part, you
complete our worksheets, and WMinor completes the
probate forms itself including both text and mathematical
computations
- Time & Services Worksheet for the automatic
computation of attorney fees including preparation of the
Application for Attorney Fees and Judgment Entry
- Exports all forms to your word processor for
printing, faxing, emailing, interlineating or making PDFs (PDF-making
functionality dependent on your word processor or owning
Adobe Acrobat). Don't let this throw you, WMinor
can also print any and all of its forms in picture-perfect
shape, ready for filing, directly to your printer without using
your word processor or any other software. It's stand alone.
Word processor compatibility is a matter of convenience not
necessity.
- Auto-Text-Fit. If you've got a bit more information
than will fit in a given space, WMinor will
automatically shrink the font size until the text fits
- Network Versions Available at big discounts. Everyone
in the office can share the same set of files and backups can be
performed from one location
- Download future upgrades from WMinor
Help menu (Internet required). All minor upgrades are free until
the release of a major revision. In the case of the prior
version, WMinor upgrades were free for 5 years.
Can you beat that?
