Anything outside a lawyer used to be a hard no like those will kits you could buy for 50 bucks. But I'm single, kidless, kinless and will likely die without much consequence save for a charity or two. So it seems like I should be able to spin something up like this....

Any thoughts?
A typical will does not mention specific assets, accounts etc, but deals with your general “estate”. You don’t have to change your will normally every time you acquire a new asset or open a new account. The details of your assets can be set out in a separate inventory that you store with your will and update from time to time.
