Apex Trigger to Populate Custom Fields on Related Object

We use a custom object called Loan and Loans have opportunities.

Loans have custom fields like UPB, Term, Interest Rate, etc..

Opportunities have new UPB, Term, Interest Rate..

I need to write a trigger that would populate the custom fields on the loan with the custom fields on the opportunity when the stage of opportunity = Completed

Thank you for your help!

You want the community to write the trigger for you.

Sorry if I have come across like that. 

I am a complete beginner to apex. This is more of a question and clarification as to if this is something that is possible or is close to best practice.

I apologize for asking so straight fowardly. If there is a trigger that is similar or a quick start where I could begin writing the trigger on my own. More or less I'm looking for advice, my apologies again.

It did not come across like that at all. Anup_J is just having a bad day it looks like.

Looking at your problem, you might be able to this with a workflow rules and field update and not have to go down the trigger route. Always good to keep it simple where possible.
