Achieve Peace Of Mind By Safeguarding Valuable Assets
No one knows what the future holds. Don’t put your financial health at risk.
If you have significant assets, a family-owned business or children from a prior relationship, a well-drafted prenuptial agreement may offer financial protection in the event of a future divorce. The benefits of a prenuptial agreement include:
- A clear declaration of separate property
- Protection of assets during the property division process
- Protection of the inheritance rights of children born from a prior marriage or relationship
- Protection of finances against alimony
- Protection of a family business
- Reduction of conflicts and minimization of divorce costs
- Debt protection
What If?
Your reasons for considering a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement are no doubt unique to your circumstances, which might include one of the following situations:
- Your business partners insist that you get a prenuptial agreement. You could look at it as a sort of insurance policy against the unexpected.
- You are married and are about to start a business with partners who insist you first establish a postnuptial agreement.
- Your marriage was in trouble. Now, in the process of reconciliation, you and your spouse decide that a postnuptial agreement would help by solidifying agreement on financial matters.
- You are approaching divorce and want a lawyer’s opinion about the validity of your already-existing prenuptial agreement. Can you contest it now?
