If those [the bill's] changes come into effect, it is likely to mean it is no longer necessarily the safest route to protect your pre-inheritance wealth transfer by simply not marrying. Provided the nuptial agreement meets the stringent pre-conditions and an element of fairness, it can be the best document available for a wealthy family to protect their gifted wealth from the son or daughter in law that may seek to bring a claim. For example, it can specify a particular amount for the meeting of needs as to be assessed at the time of separation and or a percentage increase based on the number of years married. This gives an additional layer of certainty to those families when considering, with their financial advisors and tax planners the risks and benefits of beginning that wealth transfer.
