In this episode of FIN-LYT by EWA, Matt Blocki and Jamison Smith tackle the sensitive but essential topic of prenuptial agreements. Often misunderstood and stigmatized, prenups are reframed here as practical financial tools and not as signs of mistrust. Drawing on years of experience with high-net-worth clients, they share how prenups can provide clarity, transparency, and peace of mind for both partners before entering a marriage. The conversation dives into what happens when a prenup isn’t in place, where state laws determine asset division, often with unintended and costly consequences.
Matt and Jamison explore real-life cases involving business ownership, inheritances, child support, and debt, highlighting how thoughtful planning can avoid legal battles and emotional stress. They also explain how to structure a prenup fairly, with a focus on protecting both parties while maintaining mutual respect and shared goals.
Above all, the episode encourages couples to view prenups as an opportunity for open dialogue about finances and future expectations. Whether it's a first marriage or a more complex second union, having these conversations early can lead to stronger partnerships and better outcomes. Both emotionally and financially.
