Your question is really a statement, and unmistakable at that.

You can prepare a will by writing down how you want your executor to distribute your estate upon your death, BUT THAT WRITING MUST BE ENTIRELY IN YOUR HAND WRITING UNLESS YOU HAVE IT WITNESSED BY TWO OTHER PARTIES PERFERABLY IN THE PRESENCE OF A NOTARY. The witness formalities need not be followed if the writing is entirely in your handwriting ("holographic will"), and the will need not be witnessed. Otherwise, consult an attorney in your (and my) area for will preparation.
