if you have very substantial assets requiring tax sheltering and trust creation, you absolutely want to see an estate planning attorney

if all you need is a basic will, a lawyer should be able to do this for you for $150 and no more than that.

if you want to do it yourself, you can use software like Quicken Lawyer. It is "possible" you might find this software at the local library. When I have used such software to generate a "simple" will, I got it from the law library...you have to be a lawyer to get a library card at my local law library though....

if your will really is simple, I give all my crap to X, and if X is dead, then Y. I want Z to be my executor. I want my parents to be the guardians of our children if me and the wife are hit by an asteroid, if my parents are dead then X to be guardian

...then I see no reason why you cant just type it up and makes sure it is witnessed in accordance with the laws of your state...some require 2, some require 3 witnesses, etc...

I have not seen any free will making programs on line that i would trust
