PO Will kits are very very basic. If your situation and requirements are more complex than 'everything to X', then you really do need to at least talk to a professional. Also, it's very easy to invalidate your Will due to inadequate signing and witnessing. Signing and witnessing requirements are same for Will kits as for professionally drawn up Wills. Invalidation means that the Will is ineffective.

Not sure I have the means to discuss with a professional
