You should make an appointment with an attorney who specializes in probate and estate planning. Think about what you want to have in your Will and make some very clear notes so that the meeting won't take too long. A Will and testamentary trust is really not a do-it-yourself project unless you have been to law school and know exactly how to research what you want to do. It is common for self written testamentary documents to be so poorly written that they do not make legal sense and the court must intervene. In the end, the costs are much higher than it is to have it drafted properly by a professional in the first place.
