Yes and that would make it easier for them to probate later on. Two caveats with that:

1. It'll be available to the public. So if there's any sensitive issues in there, others can see it, heirs start squabbling with you over it, etc.
2. If you ever change your will, you have to remember to record the new one and revoke the old one so that it is clear which one is supposed to rule. And the courthouse will squeeze recording costs out of you each time.
