If you have a common estate and plan to distribute property through your will, plan a simple distribution. There is no need to force your executor to flow chart the beneficiaries and solve a complex algorithm to distribute property as depicted in the article Why is Calculating a Distribution from a Will Necessary?. In addition, complex distribution instructions increase expenses of the estate by forcing the executor to use outside help. So, to avoid giving your executor needless headaches and inflating expenses of the estate, plan a simple distribution.
