A Will is not a simple thing, just like death is not simple, and your assets are not actually simple. Saying that you want your Will to be simple is like saying to your accountant that you want your income tax and BAS to be simple. Thinking it is simple doesn’t make it simple. Pretending it is simple actually makes it much harder to deal with.

Death is difficult to deal with, at least in part because in Australia we don’t really talk about death. At least some of the family are going to be caught unaware, not realising how complex and time consuming the steps that follow death are.
