I'm going to go against the grain here and suggest that you don't need a lawyer or estate attorney unless your estate is over $5 million (and into estate tax territory), or you've got complications like a second marriage with kids from the first that you want to take care of.

You definitely should have a trust, and should hold your assets in that trust so that your heirs won't need to go through probate. Legalzoom.com can help you out with that and your wills for a couple hundred bucks.

Giving your cars to a family member is easy, too: The "gift tax" thresholds are pretty high (7 figures); so you probably won't need to worry about them. Just sign it over to them.

Like anything: do your research. If you can learn how to keep your Pontiac running, you can certainly look around and figure this stuff out.
