Including Non-Heirs in the Will

When someone arranges for their estate to pass to someone other than the natural halachic heir — whether by gift, sale, or other mechanism, there is a tension between the one’s right to dispose of his property freely during his lifetime versus the Rabbinic disfavor toward deliberately bypassing the Torah’s order of Yerusha (inheritance). What is the proper procedure if one wishes to bequeath a share of his estate to his daughters, a close friend, or a favorite charitable cause?
