p.s. Yes, I could just go see a lawyer- but this is a question/answer forum and if a lawyer answers my question I'll be ahead.

You've already received excellent advice, and I saw one from an attorney (didn't read all of the responses.)
To be safe it would probably be good to set it up here. After setting up your will take it upon yourself to make sure that your will is taken to the city yourself. I'm not sure of the term to use, but the city gets a copy of the will on record. I know several people who paid an attorney in the state of Florida to set up a will and this was never done. When heirs find out they have to go ahead and do this anyway.
