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