I love my fiance but since life is so unpredictable, you will never know right?

My parents told me that unless there is a way of seperate my wealth, they will keep the assets in their name.

I am reallly hoping to get the house transferred to my name so I can sell it. My aim is to split the house up into 2-3 condos and live off the rent (so that I don't need to work anymore)

Advice appreciated. Don't want to go to a law firm at this stage because fiance may get very upset.

I am just checking my options .. and don't want to "da chao jing she" at this stage..

Go and read up about creating a trust.
Finally, if all else fails, sign a pre-nuptial if you really that worried.
Explain to wife this house belongs to family and must be so regardless of change in status. Some royal/nobel folks in other countries have done similiar structures.
