The agreement being proposed was voluntary.

It would create a marital trust with clear governance over the remaining investment assets and the identified property.

Arthur would retain lifetime rights to reside at the estate and receive appropriate financial support.

I would have primary authority over ordinary property operations, staff management, and approved budgets.

But I wouldn’t be able to transfer millions to myself simply because I wanted them.
