Sure. Estate planning attorneys see this scenario all the time. Mostly this is done with a revocable living trust, but you could get it done with a will that includes a testamentary trust.

Just because you said "skip a generation," you get to have the discussion with your estate planning attorney about the generation skipping tax.
