My spouse and I are separating and have a Pre Nuptial agreement that excludes inheritances from common property but this was drawn up in South Africa, where we married.
I subsequently received an inheritance from my late-Mother’s estate. Since this is now our primary asset, the question is to what extent good faith would play to its validity in a property settlement here (in NSW), and/or whether it might even be better to have a settlement done in South Africa.
According to advice here, a split of between 75/25 and 65/35 would be considered reasonable, but it hinges on the pre-nup. This is a tough one for me. Any comments welcome.
