Has anyone ever had to discuss pre nups with their intended? My mother wants...

Hi it really isn't worth it unless you are going to inherit a really substantial sum :)

Could be wrong but I was told by a lawyer many years ago that prenups aren't enforceable in this country anyway, purely an American thing.

What would you consider a substantial amount?

I would check if they are enforceable here or not. If not then there is no point. What do you think? Do you want one? x

Tricky, I would possibly consult a solicitor for advice but I also thought that pre nups are not enforceable, but they are taken into account, along with other considerations, property owned, shares, finances and children etc ( if of course the worst was to happen)

Hi well I would say £100 grand But as Samantha said they are not en forcible in Britain :)

It was my mothers lawyer who suggested it when she tried and failed to make it part of her will.

I don't think I could have one, would feel like I'm distrusting my partner x

If the property has been signed over in purely your name then you would never need a prenup to begin with, from what I understand, although don't quote me, it is a typically American tradition and hopefully it would never come to that! It may be best to get a legal opinion though, if you have house insurance they usually have legal fees helpline which you can call for free for advice.

She can change her will to explicitly say that should she die and you are not around to inherit, the money would go to your biological children and bypass your partner. Of course, it's completely up to her to decide what goes into her own will! :)
