Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Who's More Valuable...

Do the assets go to the friend if said husband to be dies, or divorces the bride ?

Any woman who would make you lose a life long friend is the one to ditch. If she is that controlling from the start you are in for a rough ride.

Thats why I brought Deb to a Campfire hog hunt if she could tolerate you reprobates I figured shes worth letting hang around.
Hell she still talks about Doc showing her how to eat crawdads ripping the head off and just sticking it in her mouth TFF

If you're charging him the "Campfire Consultation Fee", I want my commission.

The soon to be husband wishes only to insure that his promise to his friend is fulfilled and that portion of his pre-marital estate isn't subject to a marital assets division his wife could make a claim to, should they divorce.

It's truly one of those promises between friends. My client is one of those unique men who chooses to honor it. But because there is nothing in writing between the friends, the wife could later say screw you both and go for it. Thus,the Pre-Nup.

I'll admit it's been a long, long time since I have been involved with a handshake promise that entailed more than a million bucks.

I thought it something our grandfathers did, not us.

So this young guy really wants to marry this gal.
This young guy has a really good friend he's has or is going to will money/property to.

Young guy needs to prepay his divorce, say 50,000 now.
Young guys needs to set up trust of all property/money.
Young guy really likes this gal, so he does need to set aside some money for this future wife in a different trust.

Thanks, and sorry I couldn't quite grasp what you were saying.
So the guy is a stand-up type guy that wants to honor a promise to friend! That's great, now he just needs to grow a pair.

Two of my ex-wives hated my best friend... just because he was my best friend. Three of 'em liked my friends.

The two that didn't were crazy. It showed up later in other ways.

Your client needs to ditch the woman. If he is hell bent on having her, he needs to do right by his male friend in the pre-nup. And if she raises hell.... he needs to just get used to it, there will be MUCH more coming.

Hey Bob, is future wife worth big money too?

Keep trying the females, you may learn to like it.

still as big as dumbass as ever I see.......

Can she sucks start a Harley?

Ok, guy needs to do a contract on whatever the handshake was about. Do a legal binding contract making this friend part of the business right now.

and you're still checking out men's ass'; whats new.

Yes he is Keith.

OK Bob, my prospective on this looks like it will differ a little from the rest of the Fire.

I have a good wife and I have long time good friends. Some of my friends are not her best buddies but she is a good woman and puts up with them just as I put up with some of her friends. It is a give and take thing that should be in every marriage relationship.

Your client is wealthy and wants to marry. The Pre-Nup that gives me pause. I do not believe a solid marriage can be formed when a Pre-Nup is involved. It shows a lack of real trust and if there is no trust then there is no bases for a solid marriage.

I am not any form of legal scholar but couldn't the business could be handled by the Corp documents stating it would go to the friend or what percentage would go the the friend in case of death of either party?

It also would seem to me that someone who loved a woman enough to want to marry would also wand to leave some of his estate to the wife at his passing. If Not a reasonable amount then again there is no foundation for marriage.

Just some of my thoughts for whatever they might be worth.

Wtxj, settle down, I never said there was hope for you and keithie to like women.

I believe he does have a pair. It's why he's paying bank to address it. I respect him for his approach. I'd like to believe I'd do the same thing.

Further, I have no idea how the woman or her attorney might respond. I only know she hates the friend and she's likely to be non-plussed when she fully realizes the full wealth of my client and that a chunk of it is going to go to the hated guy. Then again, she may say "fine, where do I sign?"

If I only knew stoners could make the money they make developing computer games, I might have paid more attention to those school classes.

Let's see your the guy who goes to A&M, has the pit bull dogs and Dad is a retired Leo that lives in Dallas. Right.

Still and AH I see.

There are friends and then there are friends. If the client has the maturity of Doug Hefernin and the friend has the personality of Eddie Haskell, the fiance might be right. But even then the client may prove unable to live a life at her expected level of maturity.

If the friend it a time-tested friend of the highest order, a righteous and upstanding man unlikely to lead the client into criminality, immorality, deception, excessive risk, etc. then the fiance is just sharpening her domineering position and needs to be dumped quick.
