The billionaire heiress, Ivy Getty, the great-granddaughter of oil tycoon, J Paul Getty, has filed for divorce after 4 years, from her husband Tobias Engel.
However, being a member of the Getty billionaire family, a Prenuptial Agreement was in place prior to the nuptials, protecting her famed family’s massive wealth. You don’t have to be a member of a billionaire family to have a Prenup. We can all take lessons from the rich and famous, who protect their wealth and their assets by having a Prenuptial Agreement prior to marriage. This is something that is extremely important for couples before marriage, no matter what their current assets are, because it not only protects assets that they may have now, but also assets that they wish to keep in the future. It also can make the dissolution of a marriage go that much smoother because the couple has contemplated an outline in a contractual agreement that determines what happens to assets that become acquired during the marriage.
