Do prenups protect inheritance money from parents?
Prenuptial agreements can protect inheritance money you receive from parents during marriage, but only if the prenup specifically addresses inheritance and you keep the inherited funds completely separate from marital assets. If you mix inherited money with joint accounts or use it for shared expenses like mortgage payments, it may become marital property regardless of your prenup. The key is maintaining clear separation and having explicit language in your prenup about how inheritances will be treated.
