Good morning readers, and welcome to our live blog for Tuesday, December 10.
We start today with a quick, albeit admittedly personal question: do you have a will organised?
The reason we ask this is because a massive intergenerational wealth transfer looms as Baby Boomers fall off the perch – and many West Australians are forecasting things will get messy when it comes to who gets what inheritance.
A new report found 42 per cent of West Australians either did not have a will in place or were unsure whether they did, while 14 per cent penned their wishes more than a decade ago.

Jesinta Burton has more on this massive movement of money – and what it means for your family dynamics.
Meanwhile, a pertinent topic as summer starts with a bang: how energy-efficient is your home? It’s a question worth pondering as air-conditioning pushes our bills higher.
But, as Sarah Brookes reports, Perth’s most energy-efficient suburbs aren’t located in our city’s poshest postcodes – in fact, they are nowhere near them.
Thanks for joining us this morning, and stay tuned as we bring you more news you need to know.
