Affordable Estate Planning For Working Class?

Hi everyone,
My father in law is getting up there in age, and is in need of estate planning. He owns a house in Westchester and a cabin in North Carolina. He's gotten a quote from an estate planning attorney for $5,000 PER PERSON(he is married). I realize there are levels of estate planning and everyone wants to avoid probate court if it's possible, but they can't afford that. Is there any place that he can get a simple will stating who gets what assets and his last wishes for under $1000?

He is a laborer and his wife works retail. They aren't loaded, just honest hard working people.
