I've just begun taking over handing my parents finances. What are you guys using to manage your parents finances?

I'm just trying to get a handle on their financial picture so that I can make decisions based on what we can afford. How do you guys lay out their finances and your own finances to make this possible? Do you know of any tools I can use? There has got to be a better answer than an excel spreadsheet right?

I've used Quicken and Mint. Quicken is more comprehensive (especially since I had to go back and reconstruct finances from the past year to be sure everything was taken care of), but Mint gives a full overview. It's just me and my dad -- literally no other family -- so I've put everything together to get a clear view of the full financial picture.
