Who Needs a Prenuptial Agreement?
Many people are under the mistaken impression that prenuptial agreements (also called pre-marital agreements) are only for the rich and well-to-do. To the contrary, prenuptial agreements can benefit anyone. We draft and review prenuptial agreements for people of all income and asset levels.
A carefully thought out and written prenuptial agreement can provide a reassuring source of clarity for couples who intend to marry. A prenuptial agreement clearly specifies the parties' intentions regarding certain assets and financial responsibilities. For example:
- If I win the lottery while we're married, and I bought the ticket, the winnings are mine. If we divorce, the lottery winnings are not part of the marital estate.
- If my grandmother dies and leaves me her house and then we get a divorce, I get the house.
- If I own my own business before we marry, the entire business will still be my property if we get a divorce, even if you have contributed to the business's success.
Prenuptial Agreements Protect Important Assets and Prevent Confusion
A prenuptial agreement can protect vital assets and clarify uncertainties regarding the division of property. A prenuptial agreement can also clarify the intentions of a future husband and wife concerning issues like inherited assets and spousal support (alimony).
In addition to prenuptial agreements, our lawyers draft and review postnuptial agreements. Postnuptial agreements are agreements concerning the rights of couples who are already married.
