» Bill Murray's Prenup -- with Extra Top 5 List!

Bill Murray and his wife are getting divorced.

Bill Murray and his wife signed a prenup before their 1997.

If you are familiar with prenups, you know what comes next: Bill Murray's wife is challenging the validity of the prenup.

Here are the details, with a copy of said prenup.

Five Bill Murray films I like a lot (note that I haven't seen movies like Caddyshack and Stripes):

1. Rushmore

2. Tootsie

3. Ed Wood

4. Wild Things

5. Charlie's Angels

» Premarital Agreements and Other Areas of Law

Premarital agreements are hard to draft because they can deal with various areas of law. Estate planning and family law are the two biggies, but many different areas of property law can be affected. For instance, I recently was working on a premarital agreement, and the other attorney suggested that, if my client made contribution to his own retirement plan during his marriage, he had to make an equal contribution to his wife's retirement plan. Luckily I realized that the contribution limits for my client's retirement plan (a 401k) and his wife's plan (IRA) were not the same, so we were able to change the language in time. This is one of the reasons why I like working with a non-estate planner on a prenup, and if possible working collaboratively -- we can review the agreement from many different perspectives to make sure it "works."
