Pre-Nup, Is it For Me?

Quite often, pre-nuptial agreements are thought of as negative. In some cases, however, a pre-nup can be very helpful and even create peace of mind. A pre-nuptial agreement (or pre-marital agreement) defines to whom property belongs and can prevent legal arguments later, should a death or divorce occur. The agreement covers three areas: during marriage, upon divorce, upon death of a spouse. Some people that can benefit from a pre-nup might include those who own a business, have children or someone needing special care, or those that have many assets.

One thing that all parties should ensure, when planning a pre-nup, is independent counsel. Another is honesty and full disclosure of each parties assets. Without full disclosure, the agreement will likely be void later on.

Pre-nuptial Agreements

Quite often, pre-nuptial agreements are thought of as negative. In some cases, however, a pre-nuptial agreement can be very helpful and even create peace of mind. A pre-nuptial agreement (also called a pre-marital agreement or pre-nup) defines to whom property belongs and can prevent legal arguments should a divorce or death occur. The agreement covers three areas: during marriage, upon divorce, and upon death of a spouse. It is very important that all parties involved have independent counsel. It is also important that everyone is honest and provides full disclosure of their assets. If these don't occur, the agreement may be invalid. You might benefit from a pre-nup if you are engaged and either own a business, have children or someone needing special care, or have many assets.
