AI summary
Multigenerational living is a growing trend in Aotearoa, driven by financial pressures and the desire for family support. It allows families to pool resources for a better home while sharing costs and caregiving.

Success requires clear boundaries and communication. It's crucial to get expert legal and financial advice and create a formal property sharing agreement.
