Subject: [WSBAPT] When "Not" to Advise a Pre-Nup?

Members:

We got a potential situation where Prior Marriage Assets from one spouse AND a size-able Inheritance coming from the Mother of the 'other' spouse are involved.

1)  When do you NOT advise a pre-nup?  Under what conditions?

My thinking:  Simple CPA should to the job, assuming they want to comingle everything.

2)  ... I'm wondering Is there a Presumption of any kind where "Separate" Property becomes "Non-Separate" Property/Community Property?  Or once "Separate" Property, no time limit & Forever Separate Property, UNLESS a new Instrument is Drafted?

Your input is very well aprreciated, here.
thanks.
