Yes, an estate can be disposed of through a contract, including an ante-nuptial contract. An ante-nuptial contract is a legal agreement entered into by two people before they get married. The purpose of an ante-nuptial contract is to set out the property rights and responsibilities of each spouse in the event of divorce or death. The contract can provide for the disposition of the estate in the event of one spouse's death, and can be used in succession planning. The terms of the contract will govern how the estate is distributed, and can supersede the default rules of intestate succession in the absence of a will. However, it is important to consult with a lawyer and take professional advice when preparing any contract pertaining to estate disposition or succession planning.
