Marriage is a business transaction

So is this

Nothing wrong

And if it goes bad he either 1) got to enjoy that sweet sweet money for some period of time or 2) she didnt get the money yet and it was never his anyways

Boo fricking hoo

I'm sure they were instructed to ask the OT about it and not their CPA and lawyer folks.

Sign it unless you stand to gain.

This is just cold feet. He is second guessing himself. Tell your friend that this is more about her family than her. The marriage is doomed if this is the hill he wants to die on.

Inheritance is separate property anyway.

Go ahead and sign it.

She sounds like a materialistic bitch who doesn’t really love him. I’d take a preemptive strike and dump her Karen arse.

I don’t see any issue with this. If it was a male heir insisting his fiancée sign it we would be all about it.
Tell him to stop being a puss and sign it. Not his damn money anyway.

She's the heiress to a trucking company fortune, likely to inherit tens of millions, he comes from a wealthy family himself, he doesn't want to sign it, if you were her would you request your significant other sign it? He is concerned that she is convinced the marriage will eventually fail due to the request made.



If they have that much money, someone should have talked to a lawyer before bringing any of this up since inheritances don't count as community property.

Prenup won't prevent from having to pay child support.

I bet there is more to it than just the inheritance. There may be income she will earn during the marriage that results from the family business / investments, the agreement will very likely contain a waiver of spousal support, make clear what happens if she sells or contributes assets in order to purchase a home for them to live in after marriage, etc.

We cannot say whether he should or shouldn't sign without seeing the agreement, but rich people don't stay rich by letting emotions dictate...and poor folks may not get to marry rich folks if they themselves let their emotions dictate...

If you consider any of this advice or counsel, you shouldn't...

If I were to inherit several million dollars I Seoul’s as my fiancé to sign one. First off are they just marrying me for $$? By signing you are not. Maybe he can add something to the clause that states IF she is the cause for the divorce, he gets something out of it. She how she reacts.
I’ve known wealthy families that MAKE their heirs bring a prenup to the table. They are left out of the Will by not signing one so. It was always a very awkward situation but they didn’t amass that munch money just to have someone come take half After a few years of marriage and walk away.
