You can get a will kit. And can I just say, it's really bad that you haven't done this yet. What happens to a family when someone dies and has no will is terrible. I think it is selfish not to write one as soon as you are legally able to. Not that I have anything against you, I just hope that my comments will inspire other people who haven't written a will yet to do so.

The exact requirements vary by state, so I cannot give you a general answer. However, many states allow you to write a holographic will with no formalities. A holographic will is a will written in your own handwriting. If a will is not written in your own handwriting (e.g., typed on a computer and printed), then there are usually strict formalities and witness requirements. You can buy a do-it-yourself will kit in any office supply store or online. Make sure you use a kit designed for your state.
