A simple will from a reputable online website can do the job for many small estates, no doubt about it. Concerns I would have as a testator are whether I satisfactorily met the law's execution requirements and about whether I was aware of all the incidentals I should be considering.

As others have posted if one uses a simple will to pass on an estate it might be desirable to hold bank accounts, securities accounts and such in Totten trusts/PODs. What Is a Totten Trust? | Nolo
