You can write a prenup that says anything. Getting a court to enforce it is the whole game. In the second part of our two part crossover with the No Judgement Podcast, estate planning attorney John Sauter and senior litigation partner Wil Halaz pick up where they left off and walk through what actually makes a prenuptial agreement hold up: reasonableness, consideration, time to review, and the terms a judge will simply throw out. They also settle the question almost everyone gets wrong, why keeping a separate bank account does not keep your money separate, and why a trust sometimes does the job better than an agreement.

A real life example can teach you more than a hundred hypotheticals. In this episode, Joe shares the story of a friend’s brother, a 75-year-old retired physician who spent his life saving carefully, built an estate worth roughly $3 million, and never put a single piece of planning in place. Then he had a stroke, and everything his loved ones thought they understood fell apart. This is the clearest look yet at why an estate plan is about protecting you while you’re still here, not just deciding where your assets go.
