What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Wisconsin
My fiance owns a business with his parents. His mother has drawn up a prenup to protect the business and also the home he owns. I understand that if we were to divorce I would not have any right to these assets but what about if he dies first? He once said if the business was sold he would be a millionaire. I did not work for any of this but do want to have enough money to sustain the type of lifestyle I currently have in the event of his death. I don't want to be a senior citizen who has to move out of the home we as a married couple lived for many years so his children can inherit it. Again, I just want to be able to support my current lifestyle (which is not extravegant). My questions are: Does this prenup apply to divorce and death? How do I determine how much money I should specify in either the prenup or a will to protect myself? I should also mention that I do not have anywhere near the value of his assets.
