I am not an expert but I tend to agree to with your L. With no pre-nup in place, using her investments to buy the house could indeed make it community property now. And there are even some states that would include investment pre-marriage communal after a certain length of time. Use the law to your advantage. Protect yourself. I am always for shopping around for ICs and Ls that work for you, so I think you are on the right track there.
