At some point if you are in a relationship with someone you have to establish trust. All the horror stories you hear are usually people who rushed into marriage and didn't pay attention to the warning signs

PreNup in place to cover pre-marital assets for example my military retirement, and we each had/have separate 401K's, IRA's, multiple real estates, and other large assets, etc.
We have wills in place to override the prenup later if needed.
It was not a matter of trust, it just provides a layer of insulation for each of us and protection of assets since we married within a couple years of 50 and have children on both sides of the family.... and live in LA where succession laws are all hosed up!
If you each hold large assets before marriage, it might be something to consider.

I would dang sure protect your retirement.
No woman deserves half the retirement that you work towards.

I've heard mixed reviews about getting one. Heard its only good if you have a large amount of money and/or assets. What is the OT's take on this?
#1 -
quote:is a relative term. My net worth to Bill Gates is the pocket change he throws on his dresser at night. I have a very comfortable living as far as I'm concerned.
a large amount of money and/or assets
#2 - I have one, and would not recommend getting married without one. I'm close to retirement age, I don't have the time left to rebuild my finances to retire comfortably.
#3 - It may seem like a difficult and uncomfortable conversation to have but it's what adults do, If you all can't do that you are not mature enough to be getting married in the first place. Marriage id not a Disney fairy tale, nor is it hell on earth. It's an complicated relationship that has all the traits of a business partnership only with emotions.
Good luck and get the paperwork. Best case scenario you both laugh about it in 50 or 60 years holding hands on a beach.

i had about $200 in my account when i got married. would have to have spent more than that to have a prenup setup.
Posted on 9/29/20 at 7:46 am to MorbidTheClown
I didn't have any money when we got married either. Neither of us really did.

Don't waste your time getting married if you have that little trust in your partner.

In my second marriage and have one. We are both older and established. Kind of like merging two businesses. Details what we own together and are responsible for separately. Allows surviving spouse to live in jointly owned house should the other pass away. That way kids can’t oust you out. Provides ease and security should things go bad and protects individual dependents of their future financial benefits.

What's the point. Can't take half of nothing

If I get married I'll have one. If I was 22, no. Now, hell yes.

There are some good reasons to have a prenup, but generally, I don’t see the point.
Depending on the amount of inheritance and what it is tied into (ie land, multi-generation family-owned business, etc), coupled with the number of siblings with a piece of the action, you and your future wife or husband, may not have a say in the matter. Your family attorney could make you sign it too.

Yeah, I married into money. I’m a lawyer, so I’m not offended by a simple contract.

The heirs are not responsible for their parent(s) debts after the estate has been liquidated - however a living spouse is - this is for Louisiana. The estate has to pay what it can - but if it doesn’t cover everything - oh well.
The companies will tell you that you are responsible - you are not - check the laws of your state. I am not a lawyer but I’ve spoken to one regarding this because of an incident in my family.
The bill for a funeral service is different bc the dead person did not initiate that service - the living relatives did. Luckily my parents had those policies that covered their funerals.
As for a pre-nup - I guess if you have lots of money then sure - I think when we got married we had like $50 between us. It cost $35 for the license.

Same with my dad. The only inheritance I got from him was the funeral costs.
Not that I was angry with him or anything, I just laugh when people assume all white people get ahead in life because of what they inherit from their parents.

Lol yeah - my parents had the pre- need policy things bc basically it was - you grew up poor arse motherfrickers and when we die, y’all probably still be poor arse mofos
They weren’t wrong
So my siblings and I had free funerals and ended up splitting the $350 that was in the savings
