Love is amazing! Makes you feel like you’re the only two people on the planet. But when the dust settles and the sparks subside, reality may not be as amazing. You spend tens of thousands on a wedding, why not spend a fraction of that to protect what’s yours with a prenuptial agreement?

If a child knows that he is set to receive a large inheritance, it may deter him from getting an education or gainful employment. For that reason, I recommend a continuing trust with guidelines as to how and when distributions can be made. Coupled with a Trustee who is stern but flexible, and will make decisions based on your child’s best interest.

A: No! There are court and administrative hurdles involved with storing a will or other estate planning documents in a safe deposit box. Instead, they should be stored with your attorney, in an estate planning portfolio/binder or in a safe deposit box at home. That being said, for individuals who do not have a safe place to store a will or are nervous that there may be tampering after death, a safe deposit box may be the best option. In this case, you may want to name the executor/personal representative or trustee as co-signor on the box.
