Hi all, I was hoping some people here might be able to provide some guidance or point me to where we can get it.
We do not live in and aren’t from the UK, however my step-daughter is 25 and lives in London.
Several years ago her mother sadly died and she inherited a significant amount of money. She has been very careful with it, but as her mother’s death was fairly quick there was no protections put in place.
She moved to the UK a year after her mother died, completed her masters, spent a short time on a graduate visa and is now on a skilled worker visa.
She has decided to buy a flat in central London, it is worth a high amount (£1.3million), but this is what she wants, it is ultimately her money and she can afford it.
She is also in a long term relationship.
What we (her father and I) are wondering is if she did get married how do we protect her assets, both the property and her savings/investments. She is careful with money but I do understand that her situation could make her attractive to the wrong type of man, and even with the right man marriage/divorce can get very mean.
What are the options in the UK to protect her? Is there somewhere we can get advice on this? Or somewhere we can direct her for advice?
AIBU to think we should start thinking about how she will protect her assets now?
