This is good advice.
Due to a badly self written will, I got and expensive legal lesson from my attorney with my uncles estate of which I was the executor. One of the things I learned is you can't just leave someone out of these kinds of documents. You have to SPECIFICALLY state that they are not allowed to do something or that they are to get nothing.
But the biggest thing I learned is that the law is NOT a DIY project. Have a lawyer write these things up for you and avoid on-line legal documents - especially wills. A tiny mistake can cost you everything.
The most surprising thing I learned is how easily a judge will throw out or over-ride a will. You'd think this would be almost sacraligeous but it happens all the time.
In my case, everyone involved was agreeable so my lesson only cost me $15K in extra work. Had there been an argument, who knows.
