Is there a way to protect an inheritance so my child doesn’t lose half in a future divorce?

Yes, there are ways to protect an inheritance. That is a common concern. A quick look at current divorce rates will reveal the staggering frequency of divorce in the United States. According to a report in Forbes half of all first marriages end in divorce. The rate is far higher for second and third marriages, and if you have a couple of children the odds are, unfortunately, that at least one of them may end up someday in a divorce. Without careful planning, the legacy you have devoted your life to creating might easily pass to a son-in-law or daughter-in-law where it will no longer benefit your children or grandchildren in a now unforeseeable divorce. There are ways to protect an inheritance to make sure that it’s passed on down to your son or your daughter and not that no-good son-in-law or no-good daughter-in-law.

So the answer is yes, there are ways to protect an inheritance from partial or total loss through divorce proceedings and even death.
