Unless you have an extremely simple will and unless you know exactly what you're doing, absolutely not.
A fill in the blanks, do it yourself form gives you no benefit of years of legal study and experience, malpractice insurance and someone who will know how to draft your will properly according to the intricacies of your state laws. An attorney provides legal advice regarding the correct form, legal consequences, tax consequences, and numerous other aspects of estate planning you have never considered.
Errors are frequently made by layperson's trying to save a few hundred dollars by drafting their own legal documents, especially with wills and deeds. Those types of errors can cause extremely costly corrective work years later. In most cases when you act as your own lawyer you have a fool for a client.
