Can I write my own will, or do I have to hire a lawyer?

You might own a lot, you might own a little, but you probably still need to write a will. But do you have to use a lawyer to do it? There are changes coming to KiwiSaver contribution rates. Who will miss out? And how do donation credits actually work?

In this episode, Susan answers questions about:

• How will the changes to KiwiSaver contribution rates affect you?
• How does the donation tax credit actually work?
• Why aren’t spouses paid to be caregivers?
• Are there still benefits to KiwiSaver when the government contribution stops?
• Do you have to write a will with a lawyer or can you write your own, have it witnessed and just keep it in a safe place?
• What items have gotten cheaper over the last 10 years?
• And which part of the country has the highest uptake on solar power?
