RELATIONSHIP PROPERTY TRUSTS VS. PRENUPS🤔 When it comes to safeguarding assets in a relationship, understanding your legal options is key.

Prenups define how assets will be divided in the event of separation, while IRPTs are designed to protect and preserve assets throughout the relationship. This article from Trustees & Fiduciaries (Cook Islands) Limited explores how these two tools can work together to secure your clients' financial futures.
