Most Kiwis think a trust will protect their assets in a break-up.But that’s not always true. In fact, without a relationship property agreement (a prenup), even your trust could be challenged in court.

In this episode, we break down the real risks of not having a prenup – including how one Kiwi lost his house, despite putting it in a trust – and explain how to put a contracting out agreement in place.

You’ll learn:

  • How NZ’s relationship property law really works – and when the 50/50 split kicks in
  • Why a trust doesn’t always protect your property after a breakup
  • How much prenups cost, and the life events that should trigger a review
