I cant answer your question on the expat stuff, but I used the nolo/quicken willmaker plus software last year to prepare a whole gamut of documents from a will to medical directives and so forth and can offer a review of using that to at least expose the main questions to be asked and get the info on paper before consulting a lawyer.
It asked questions a reasonable person would understand, provided a 'legal manual' that stated in fairly plain talk what the pitfalls were and what to consider for each question, and then cranked out the stuff. I did one for my wife and I although we've still got some tweaking to do before we get the documents notarized. My dad took the one I did for him and let a retired lawyer that lives a few houses down from him look them over and he said they seemed well in order and there was nothing he'd have added to them.
Took about an hour to do the form filling, couple of hours of talking things over.
