Check with your State's Secretary of State, or Department of Aging Services, or someplace on your state's government website. My state has standard forms for POA and Health Care Directive. You can also read your state's laws regarding Inheritance. My state has a chart showing how the Probate court will divide your property, if you don't have a Will, and they have a FAQ section with things like "Can I dis-inherit a child?" (Yes) and "Can I write my spouse out of my Will?" (No, not in our state). If you're needing free advice, best place to look is on the website of state which your property is in, and where you reside.
Always get legal advice when it comes to any type of legal document, such as a Will. Just one misplaced word in a made at home Will could create terrible results.
There are tons of different ones online that are free. I would go to Google and type in something like Free Last Will and Testament and add words like "printable" or "template" if you want to type in it. Also, add the state you are in. When we did ours, my husband and I made a few originals. We had the witnesses and notary sign and stamp each one. The following is just a short form from All Law. LAST WILL OF _________________
I, ____________________________, a resident of the state of ______________________, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, at least 18 years of age, and not actuated by any duress, menace, fraud, mistake, or undue influence, do freely make, publish, and declare this to be my last Will, hereby expressly revoking all Wills and Codicils previously made by me.
I. EXECUTOR
I appoint _________________ as Executor of this my Last Will and Testament and provide if this Executor is unable or unwilling to serve then I appoint _________________ as alternate Executor. My Executor shall be authorized to carry out all provisions of this Will and pay my just debts, obligations and funeral expenses. I further provide my Executor shall not be required to post surety bond in this or any other jurisdiction, and direct that no expert appraisal be made of my estate unless required by law.

IV. SIMULTANEOUS DEATH OF SPOUSE

V. SIMULTANEOUS DEATH OF BENEFICIARY
