Poor girl.

While I feel that this is a subtle brag thread, I'm always amazed at the amount of people that legitimately seek legal advice on this board.

Property inherited by one spouse does not become community property. If you were to get a divorce, these assets would be off limits to you. It would take a hell of a fight to get half of them.

Actually it's very easy to unintentionally intermingle these assets into what would be considered community property

I know. He should have posted this on the money board.

I married someone who was in a similar boat, if there is that much to worry about then those assets are properly taken care of already OP.
Its not your job OP to take care of her assets. That would be lesson number 1. Let her and her family do that at this time. If they bring it up or if you want to casually tell her that if she wants to do things legally before marriage it wont bother you, do that. But I don't think it is in your best interest to recommend any legal action at this time.
Is she the sole heir?

I'm not sure why anyone would get married in this social media age without a prenup. Everyone loves their SO, but half of them end up divorced anyway these days. shite changes. Better safe than sorry. Someone not agreeing or not open to a prenup should raise a bigger red flag than someone proposing one. There are articles online about the right way to approach that talk.

You do know divorce rates are down from their peak in the 80s & 90s?
Those baby boomers sure love their divorce

Parents have implied everything will be split 50/50 however grandchildren from either side could potentially complicate things.
I am not worried about that battle like you said it is not my fight. I was wondering initially in the OP and will still like to look into what I can do for myself in order to preserve my lifestyle in case of marriage failure. I dont think marriage/divorce should mostly consist of men consensually bending over and spreading their financial cheeks if everything fails or to preserve a marriage solely for the sake of cheaper to keep them.
I want the woman to have a dog in the fight for keeping the marriage going as well. As oppose to treating it like a potential stock that can be sold high.

You're speaking in relative terms, they're still very high. Hell, 10% should be considered high. 1 in 10 marriages ending in divorce would be enough statistical data for me to want or agree to a prenup. It just seems silly not to. Those of you that are happily married, that's awesome but not every case is like yours. Like I said, no one is anticipating a divorce down the road when they pop the question, but we've got insurance on all of these other unpredictable scenarios. It seems pretty silly to me to not insure against another human being changing or massively fricking up

Yeah and here comes Jan Feb and March, the months with the highest number of divorces.

You see you've already decided stuff is more important than she is, and you've assumed she thinks the same. That's why if you do marry her you will divorce her. I just gave you advice that avoids a lot of the pain and saves time.
You asked the wrong question to the wrong people. The question you should have asked is how they had successful marriages to people who have been married to the same spouse for 30+ years.
Then tried to figure out how to do that, instead of how to quit.
Posted on 12/29/16 at 11:23 am to llfshoals
I dont have a history of quitting many things. I also dont have a history of getting used and abused. I dont plan to start either. Sorry you cant grasp that.

In 10 years you will hate her and regret this decision when she runs off with an x boyfriend and leaves you broke.

Uhhhhh......no. That's not how marriage works.
After you're married, everything is community property. If you don't understand this, you're not ready for marriage.

Yes, if you use community property or community money to maintain/improve whatever she inherits, then yes, it becomes community property.
Example. My wife has a rental property in Mississippi. The rent pays the mortgage, but improvements in the HVAC, Roof, Siding, etc., were paid for by community money. In that case, the rental property becomes community property.

A successful marriage isn't a business plan.

Why would you view outlining and establishing financial boundaries before the marriage as an express lane to failure?
I can just as easily argue that while it removes a few of the emotional butterflies that tend to fade on their own anyway. It establishes a common ground for both adults and a level of respect that can be maintained for the relationship going forward.
I can also argue people that do not properly plan out their financials are more likely to get a divorce because that couple probably never mapped out their finances to begin with.
Just because we play different positions does not mean we are not a team and working together.
