Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Illinois

My Grandfather passed away recently. God bless his soul. My Grandfather was a WW2 Army Aircore veteran. My Grandmother decided to give me my Grandfathers WW2 Army Aircore uniform. I let everyone in my family know what I want to happen to the uniform in the event of my death. However I have no will whatsoever. The only significant asset I do have is my car and its in both my name and my mom's name and I know the car would go to my mom should I die. I want something in writing when it comes to my Grandfathers uniform should I die. I am sure something historical like a WW2 Army Aircore uniform is worth a lot of money and I want to make sure that the person who I want to give the uniform to gets the uniform in the event of my death. I also want to create a living will. I want to make as much of the end of life decisions for myself as I can. I do not want someone else to make end of life decisions for me even if they are a close family member. However I do understand that sometimes a Power of Attorney or a Health Care Surrogate will be needed. I want to know how do I write a will for my assets and how do I create a living will. I also want some advice on the different scenarios that could happen at the end of life
