Use corner blocks, then you only have to make straight cuts. Looks cool too

They make a little plastic thing called an "angle finder" that I have used for years when installing chair rail. Got it at Home Depot. Or just re-use the molding you remove.

Invest in a mitre box. Makes things super easy. I also like Kelli and BPI's suggestions too.

A miter saw works great, you set it to 45 degree angle and cut to fit.
