I want to buy a property with my own savings account for the down payment. I will have the mortgage in my name only. But what if we get divorced? How can I protect myself so that I can keep the property?
He already owns several other properties in his trust and also some as a business entity with partners.
Do you think we could do a post-nuptial agreement to define our seperate properties? Would that do the trick? Thanks for any help.

Hi divatrian,
Going for a post-nuptial agreement is a good idea as it can help you define your separate property. This will help you prevent the state laws from controlling the division of properties, spousal rights and benefits. By drafting a agreement you can retain contro; over such issues.
