I just emailed around asking for lawyer recommendations, so I'll go with that. In the interm, in case I die tomorrow or whatever, I'll write up a primitive will just in case.

A holographic will, one that is written in your own handwriting is considered valid in Alberta and I would assume in most other north american jurisdictions. I am not a lawyer in California so i can't, and wouldn't give advice specific to your situation. You may want to write one up until you get to the lawyer. Also, don't go with the cheapest quote. You don't want something spit out of the word processor by the assistant that has not been changed in years. A good reference is important. You should also discuss you wishes with the GF and you parents and tell them you wrote out a will. A creepy talk but essential.
