There are many ways you can achieve this as below. 

1.     Process Builder  
1.     System Administrators can do it easily
2.     Irrespective of Master Detail or Lookup, should work

2.     Apex Trigger

2.     If you go with this option, remember to make a custom setting to that you can use it to turn a trigger on or off without deactivating it through a code deployment. 

3.     Cross Object Formula
