Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Re: prenuptial agreement in California

Well, since you did not mention marriage or specify your situation, you did not provide enough information for a full answer. The attorney's answer to this question for someone who is about to get married is generally: yes, a well drafted prenuptial characterizes future income and current property, provides protection from creditor actions against your future spouse, and serves as a shield for your assets in case of divorce. We highly recommend prenups and see it as a form of "estate planning", even though we generally do not practice family law.

You can approach the issue with your intended that way.
