Prenuptial Agreements
Our legal team can customize a pre-marital or post-marital agreement that sets out each party’s assets, debts, and property rights; and settles how property and spousal support is handled in the event of a divorce or death.
Pre-nuptial agreements
Pre-nuptial agreements ensure:
- Distribution of an estate according to the party’s wishes
- Protection of party from a spouse
- Protection of children’s interests from a previous marriage
Post-nuptial agreements
A post-nuptial agreement is a voluntary contract created after marriage. Post-nuptial agreements can help:
- Resolve issues in a marriage by ending disagreements over finances, assets, children, and even chores
- Stop conflict and promote harmony
- Benefit the financial status of either spouse when changes occur, such as through a career change, an inheritance, change in investments, or selling a business
The need for pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements becomes increasingly important as people’s economic circumstances grow more complex. It is prudent that certain kinds of property acquired before and after a marriage be identified and their potential future disposition clearly agreed to. This helps avoid litigation in the event of a divorce.
