A couple of questions about pre-nup agreements:
- Do they have any force in law?
- Can a single firm of solicitors provide pre-nups for both parties
providing that a different solicitor at the firm acts for each party?
- In practice are they effective at protecting whatever each party
brings to a marriage if the marriage breaks-down or when one party dies?
- Is there a better way of achieving the desired protection?

Not sure. Probably not.

Not entirely even at the best of times; and a substantial breach of any
of the Radmacher conditions might invalidate one completely.
> - Is there a better way of achieving the desired protection?
Yes. If you have or expect to have substantially more assets than your
partner, do NOT marry her. Whatever you do.

If you think you need a pre-nup then perhaps you should think twice and
thrice about what getting married means and whether you should go
through with it.

Does a pre-nup help you when someone dies? Surely that is simply down to
