bequest of the subject property and
a residuary catch all should not cost

Re: will
You need a will if you want your wishes enforced by the law. In New York, a document which is not a will but contains directions about property distribution does not have to be followed by the executor or administrator. Without a will, your assets will be divided according to the intestatcy laws.
Re: will
Lots of information is required.
If its land, you need a deed.
Less formal document for other property.
Generally, question is very unclear.
