On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Family Law on Thursday, April 27, 2017. Missouri parents who want to safeguard their adult children’s inheritance for them should begin by having open conversations with them about their options. This can include prenuptial agreements. A prenuptial agreement is a legal contract that a couple completes before they get married and that classifies assets as either marital or separately owned if the marriage ends.
