I have an acquaintance who is filthy rich. Her father made her (now) husband sign a prenup as well. Don’t know the details, just know he had to sign it to marry her. Gotta be more to it than just inheritance.

This is essentially the same exact predicament he's in.

Well maybe he should look at signing it as proof to her that he doesn’t give a shite about the money

The benefit is that you can clearly outline what is community property or separate property.

It just makes it easier in the case there are questions that arise.

No predicament. You sign it after you get some terms that you agree with. Or you move on down the road.

Prenups go both ways. If he ever makes anything of himself, whether by work or luck, he can walk away without losing anything. It’s a shitty way to start a marriage but I can understand why it’s done if you already have generational wealth.

He should sign it. He’s not entitled to any of her family’s wealth if/when this thing crashes and burns.

Also, how many trucks we talking?

I mean, she doesn't need a prenup to prevent him from getting her inheritance.


So many people think prenups are for all the shite you acquired or are entitled to before/outside of the marriage. It's mesmerizing.

Dude should sign it.

My wife’s family has some money. Her parents both recently passed away. I have no idea what she has inherited. I don’t ask. It’s her separate property. Trust your women and make your own money.

If my family worked their arses off and built something that they planned to give to me in order to continue their legacy.

That multi generational asset isnt something that should ever be eligible to be broken apart by someone else who did nothing to build or contribute to it.

Yes if he loves her he should respect what her family has done for her and if the shoes were on the other feet she should do the same.

If it is love trust that and bet on that by proving you are invested in the person and not the assets that could be split down the road.

If they are from Louisiana it is not necessary, inheritance is separate not community property.

I get her family’s concerns but the reality is that pre nups should be the last thing on your mind if you’re getting married. If you can already see a scenario that it fails, then it will for sure.
well now we know who didn't have money when they got married

What happens if she starts building wealth with money given to her by her family after she’s married. The spouse could claim it’s theirs even if they had nothing to do with building the wealth. I can see where someone would call horseshite on that.


Can’t you write the prenup to state any terms you both agree to? If so, I can see why people would want one.

Yeah. Even if it is clearly separate property now mistakes can be made commingling funds later that make it not so separate property anymore if there wasnt a specific outline beforehand to reference in court.

At the rates of divorce no sane person with any money is going to play divorce rate and divorce court roulette without some kind of advantage.

Why get married just tell her we can live together and keep fricking and raise some rug rats what’s the difference if you don’t believe in marriage.

This. It also makes it easy to seperate assets and gifts that are given to the child during the marriage not just the child's inheritance upon the parents death. And it protects those things from liability during the marriage as Jake said. You can use certain seperate property for higher risk decisions during the marriage etc.
