Need a will

Don’t want to spend 500 on a will. My estate is pretty simple(2 sons split evenly). What are some good options?

Write it out on a piece of paper and go get it notarized.

Estate Planning is almost never "simple." I have clients tell me that all the time and maybe 1/10 estate plans are simple. I don't charge $500 for a will and don't know of any board certified attorneys that charge $500. You'd be much better of paying. Not to mention there are lifetime documents you will need that you don't know about (and are more important than the will).

Do you have beneficiaries specified on your accounts?
Do you have your medical POA squared away as well? That's probably more important.
Have you written down your wishes in case you're unable to make your own healthcare decisions?
How about the funeral? Cremation or burial?
Do you keep and actively update a list of people who should be contacted if something happens?

Write it on a piece of paper in your own handwriting. No notarization necessary.
