Key word: ESTATE attorney. Preferably belonging to a large and well respected firm. Don't get just any attorney willing to do it, they won't be equipped for it and shit will go wrong, and things going wrong in the legal world is potentially catastrophic. For you, your family and anyone within a 1000 feet of you.

This is a bit extreme. An estate-planning attorney at any sized firm can do a good job, and using an attorney is good. But wills, trusts, etc. are well-established areas of law, to the extent that in the U.S. at least, anyone can scratch out a perfectly legal will on a piece of notebook paper.
