Spoken like someone who has never inherited anything. My spouse and I are happily marrried, and I share my annual distributions but my trust is protected in the event of dovorce. The idea of him cheating on me then assuming that he has the right to the money that my Mom slaved away to amass and protect makes me sick.

NP here - Don't assume that those who want to share have never inherited anything. I shared my inheritance. I handle all of our finances, and I definitely agree with the sentiment that DH and I are a team and we share.

I think that most married people think they are a team and share. However it's just a fact that a large percentage of marriages fail. No way in hell is anyone who cheated on me taking the money that was entrusted to me.

It's the law. Inheritances which are not commingled are separate property, not marital assets. If you left money for your children, would you want the divorced son or daughter-in-law to get half of everything you worked for? They have their own parents to leave them an inheritance, should they be so fortunate.

Is this directed at me (the person you quoted)?

I know it's the law. We agree with one another. And no- I wouldn't want my kids ex taking half of their trusts. That is why the trusts require a pre nup.

So, you decided your child in law will need to sign a prenup? Wow.

I would too. No pre-nup, no inheritance.

NP here. If you have a trust, why would one need a pre-nup on top of that? I thought an trust was a good protection in and of itself?

PP you're responding to. I don't know. I don't have a trust, I was just saying what I would do.

Oh, haha got it.

I was under the impression that trusts are a better protection, because they are much more iron clad than pre-nups, which can be challenged in court out the wazoo.
