My father wrote his own will. Hand written. He copied one written by a lawyer and just changed who his executors were. Everything else was the same. The probate judge refused to accept it as a valid will and because it was written after the one drawn up by the lawyer he refused to accept the first will as valid. We (the beneficiaries) had to hire a lawyer to tell him that everything was ok at a cost of $3,000. So having no problems with probate it's worth it to get one done. Now saying that I just had a new will written up and it was $430 (Canadian)
