Anything solely in his name from before the marriage is protected. However, if he dies and you are the beneficiary of the estate, it becomes your property and subject to attachment by your creditors. Also any property you acquire jointly after marriage is open to your creditors. OldJimmy

If the debts are in your name only, they can lien any property that has your name on it (sole or joint owner). If the property is solely in her name, she should be OK. jlf

If you keep your finances separate, there should be no issue. However, if you live in a community property state, such as CA, any debts after you married are shared by both spouses. It would be a good idea to get your credit in order before you marry, if at all possible. MadMan
