The best thing the OP needs to do is contact on attorney on his behalf. For something like this an internet forum is the worse place to seek advice.

Not sure why you would be bashing me as playing lawyer 101 but lawyer 301 says get an attorney and file it at the court house this makes it of
record and there is no dispute what the official will says or has in it.
I said above go see a lawyer not some roadside notary I said the same thing that you did except I would and have filed my will in the court house. I have seen when a will is not filed suddenly several different copies show up saying different things. buy hey I have a few assets and have had to deal with families fighting over some sliver of property that one idiot blocks everything for years and cost the beneficiaries tons of time, money and heart ache.
Just as important as writing an will you also need to
UPDATE your will from time to time. This is where family can get in trouble if assets aren't listed on a will from 20yrs ago or they have been sold/transferred to other people. Especially relatives.
but what do I know. Im just an 101 lawyer on the internet!!
Damn trolls.
