If my son doesn’t get a prenup, can I shelter his share of my Philadelphia estate?

From our “Ask a Question” Mailbag: Protecting Assets from Children’s Creditors Philadelphia

Most Recently Updated July 19, 2018.

“My son is getting married this fall and his fiancé refuses to sign a prenuptial agreement. I am worried that if I die, his share of my estate will end up going to her in a divorce. What can I do?”

Protecting Assets from Children’s Creditors Philadelphia

Protecting Assets from Children’s Creditors Philadelphia

As part of your estate plan, we could incorporate in your will a trust to hold your son’s share of the estate. Simply put, if your money pours into a properly drafted trust rather than into your son’s hands, then your future daughter-in-law will have no claims to the assets in a divorce. This can be a rather simple trust, or it can end up rather complex. It all depends on your wishes. I can walk you through the possibilities and you can then decide what terms best fit your family.

If you have any other questions about estate planning, trusts or will drafting, feel free to contact our office for a free consultation.

      I met Peter soon after he started his practice in Philadelphia, PA. He and his team have always been there for me and my various inquiries throughout my life-changing events, corporate relocations. I have lived in various cities throughout the nation, I have never had a problem in contacting Peter or a member of his team. He and his office responds quickly and returns calls to me to fulfill my requests for information or to revise my estate needs while posing relevant thought-provoking questions that I need to consider to secure my future. One of Peter's best qualities is his ability to answer clients complicated questions in a simple way to ensure comprehension.
