This is interesting filmore. So would this be like a pre-nuptial? So imagine you are married happily. Then you find out your spouse inherited 2 million dollars but your spouse is NOT going to put that money into your joint account. They are going to keep it separate from you so that they are the SOLE beneficiary of that inheritance. Would that upset you or make you feel a little resentment towards your spouse?
On the one hand, since the inheritance came from your spouse’s relative, it seems fitting and right they would only put your spouse’s name as the inheritor and not you as well. But since that’s your spouse, you’d think they would ‘share’ it or ‘pool’ it in our marriage. But by them withholding as if it is like insurance or safety money incase of a divorce, that entire inheritance is protected. Wouldn’t that make you feel a little suspicious or disappointed in your spouse? They don’t trust “us”? So it sounds like in that case, it’s the same thing as signing a pre-nuptial?
