Is your client really giving this guy a million $$4 just because they are friends, or did this friend actually do something of value in a business sense?
This is weird, why doesn't your client just give him what is his? Or is your client really a million $$ sap?

Great question(s).
The friend has creditor/bankruptcy issues that factor into the equation. I do not represent the friend nor have I spoken to him.
My client has no problem with financially providing for his soon to be wife conditioned upon her full anticipated performance of the enabling/requisite provisions of the Pre-Nup.
My client simply wishes to insure that he's fully disclosed that there is a portion of his estate that is earmarked for a 3rd party and is to remain a distinct, separate asset, not subject to equitable distribution or gross income computations.
