Description

In this week’s episode, Nick first detailed the use of Binding Financial Agreements (prenups) to protect assets like inheritances and super, clarifying their use for second relationships and confirming they remove the matter from Family Court jurisdiction. Caller Monica sought advice on suing an Australian driver for a motor scooter accident in Indonesia, and Nick advised she could sue in Australian courts by applying Indonesian law. Brad queried about an elderly de facto wife being disinherited by her late husband's old will, and Nick advised she has the right to challenge the will in the Supreme Court. Finally, David asked for a way to protect his children's future inheritance from being divided in a divorce, and Nick recommended his children get a simple prenup to quarantine the money.
