A will is good, but, for mutual funds and bank accounts, the best thing to do to designate beneficiaries for those accounts. The assets will transfer automatically upon death and will bypass the will and probate. I have a will, but 95 percent of my assets will transfer immediately upon my death regardless of what the will dictates.
