Join attorneys Nathalie E. A. Paluch and Sara Z. May as they dive into important considerations when premarital agreements intersect with estate planning. The presentation will explore several hypotheticals and how to avoid common issues relating to estate planning, including how to ensure a divorcee is not better off than a widow, whether a premarital agreement should provide for consideration in the event of death, and how to navigate making a spouse a potential creditor of your posthumous estate.
