There are two packages I know of off hand called WillWriter and
FastForms that do the things you mention.  As far as other legal
packages, I really don't know what a lawyer might need that other
professions would not.

Where to get information?  Check the MacConnection ads to find out who
makes these things, then look them up in the advertiser's index or
call MacConnection - they'll give you the producing company's phone
number.
