keeping assets "in the family" is manda- tory, work with your financial advisor and/or attorney to establish trusts that preserve assets the way you intend. Pre-Nuptial Agreements Many couples create PNAs to legally sort out the issues listed above. It's the best way to ensure that what you bring to the marriage is passed on according to your wishes in the event of your death or a divorce. While your marriage is your commitment to support and rely on each other above everyone else, seeking profes- sional financial help neither undermines this bond nor pre-destines it to failure. If certain issues seem contentious, you and your future spouse may benefit from engaging an outside professional to help navigate them.
