Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Maine

My brother does not have a will. He is 62, married with no children. He wants to will me his half of property we own together. And I want to be sure that she could not contest this. And of course, he could change his will if I predecease me. So I would want to be sure it would the go to our descendants. It is the only asset he has other than personal items. His wife owns her home and they live in it and it is owned with her son. Any life insurance policies he has name her as beneficiary. Can he make his own will using a will kit or should he consult an attorney??

A Will make without an attorney can be valid, however, the planning piece you refer to should be done in conjunction with a legal consultation. This is especially true if there is a chance that the surviving spouse may challenge the Will's disposition.-
