However, I do believe pre-nups are a good thing but not the final word in a divorce. I have a gal-pal who had one (she had more assets) and was put through the wringer when her husband contested the pre-nup in a long-drawn-out fight !
Yes, that reminds me that along with the prenup, one should have a Living Trust where everything is spelled out and does not process through the courts. Everything owned is in the Trustee's name and can only be changed by the Trustee i.e., you. The chosen Beneficiary of the Trust is automatically and immediately the owner of the estate upon the Trustee's demise, not having to process through court.
