LLC - in case of a divorce

[Jenny Tai]

If I set up a LLC to invest in real estate, what will happen in case of a divorce?

Will my spouse be entitled to the properties I purchased in the LLC?

What's the best way to ensure that my future partner is not entitled to the property that I invest in prior to the marriage (including appreciation and such)? Will setting up a trust and putting myself as the beneficiary be a good solution?

If I place additional capital into a LLC during the course of the marriage, does the property I purchase using that capital count as community property in case of a divorce?
