My wife and I have been married for a few years. She is going to inherit some money and on the advice of her parent she wants me to sign a post nuptial agreement. The reason this parent is pushing for me to sign is because the money is being inherited due to my wife losing her other parent in an accident. My wife and I have had our ups and downs throughout our marriage but I have no intention of taking her money and I don't like the idea of having a paper looming over me. I have told my wife that I am not going to sign these papers and she said that the only reason it should be a problem is if we get divorced - then I won't get half of her money. I don't look at it that way - i look at it like I am married to her and her post nuptial aggreement and neither her nor her family trusts me - what should I do?

You don't have to sign anything you don't want to sign. Tell her you know people that have more money than that and their money doesn't impress you and neither does this money that's she suppose to inherit.

If your talking millions of dollars I can see why you wont sign . Unless she puts a clause in it that says you get x amount of money if and when you should divorce . I would not sing till you both have come up with a dollar amount you both agree on . But if your talking a few thousand dollars . Sing the papers . If you leave her she has that money to fall back on to get a new start . Even if she leaves you it's not worth the time or money to fight over it . Just sing the papers . You on your own will have more money then her any way .

No, i would not marry a woman the place i've got self belief that such issues are mandatory interior the 1st place, meaning your father is going out of his way approximately telling me how important and wonderfull marriage is, adversarial to residing someplace he can handle to pay for to stay with what little is left after divorce and paying your mom monnniiiiees. Nuptial agreements might nicely be tossed out by utilising the courts. they choose which you will place money into legal experts and not dissolve a marriage value effectively and extremely.

Just tell her "If you trusted me, then you would NOT ask me to sign."
I would then tell her , "How about we focus on improving our marriage, than focus on who gets what if it falls apartt?"
To prepare for the worst kind of invites the worst in this case don't you think?
No one can make you sign and so don't.
