Prenup 101

Kate and Candice talk through everything you need to know about prenuptial agreements - what they cover, how long they last and whether they’re automatically legally binding. They explore how to make sure a prenup is fair for both partners and why these agreements are not just for the wealthy.

Candice also shares why more couples are choosing prenups today, how often they need to be updated and how to start this conversation with your partner.

Here are some points covered in this episode:

  • What a prenup is and what it includes
  • When to update your prenup
  • How to keep things fair when one partner has more money
  • Why prenups are becoming more common among younger couples
  • Top tips for discussing a prenup together
