To Prenup or Not to Prenup: A View from a Financial Advisor with Julie Arkush

This topic may be a trigger for some people which is why this interview is so important.  Our guest, a financial advisor, Julie Arkush of Morgan Stanley, speaks with us about financial planning and more specifically, about financial planning when you are planning for a wedding.  Marriage is a time for love and romance, but it is also a significant moment with real legal implications affecting your finances and your assets.  Shouldn’t you be aware of what those implications are and what you can do to protect yourself and your assets, particularly if you have the opportunity and the knowledge to do something about it?

Like car insurance, nobody plans to have a car accident, but car owners purchase car insurance to protect themselves in the event that a crash might occur in the future.

A homeowner purchases home insurance just in case somebody trips and falls on their property or thr home is damaged unexpectedly.

A prenup is kind of like insurance, in the event that the marriage doesn’t work out.

If you were to purchase a house, or start a new business opportunity wouldn’t you explore and investigate the benefits and faults before jumping into such purchase or opportunity?

If you work hard for your money and the wealth that you have, or plan to have in the future and you are planning to get married now or in the future, then you will definitely want to hear what Julie has to say on this sensitive topic.

Listening to this call, you will learn:

-about instances when a prenup is advisable and when it may not be

-that prenups are not just for the rich and wealthy and why it is important for anyone planning to get married

-a prenup is essential to your estate and financial planning

Listen and learn more about prenups. You just might feel differently about them after you hear a financial advisor’s perspective.
