A will is a straightforward way for a person to express their wishes for what they want to happen to your estate when they have gone. A will allows a person to specify exactly who gets what and helps avoid unnecessary stress and hassle for loved ones.

How does a Simple Will differ from a Complex Will?

As expected from the name, a Simple Will is, well, simple! It’s shorter than a Complex Will and is written out in the most straightforward way possible. In most cases, Simple Wills leave a person’s estate to one singular person (e.g. a spouse), or split an even sum amongst a small number of beneficiaries (e.g. children).

If you have a small family and few assets, a Simple Will may be right for you.
