A prenuptial agreement is a written contract between two people in anticipation of marriage. It normally lists all the properties each person owns and defines the rights and obligations of both parties. It specifies how to manage their finances during the course of the marriage. This will also define what each person’s property rights will be in the event of the termination of marriage, either by death, divorce, or cancellation by the court.
Even though talking about money, property, or separation may seem uncomfortable, having a prenuptial agreement can benefit many couples — especially when things are complicated. If either partner has real property, business holdings, inheritances, or children from a previous marriage, or if you simply want to be transparent with each other about financial obligations, these agreements offer a strong foundation.
A prenuptial agreement keeps control and protects ownership of assets, finances, and properties belonging to a family business. Without a premarital agreement, a court could award some of these ownership rights to your partner. This may lead to a potentially difficult situation if the marriage fails.
A prenuptial agreement is often used to designate responsibility and protect the interests of children from an earlier marriage or children from an upcoming marriage. With this agreement, you can make sure that your children receive the assets you want them to have in the event of separation.
Heirloom could be anything valuable passed down from generations to its family members. A prenuptial agreement can make sure that you can keep family heirlooms out of the marital estate. This is important when there are valuables that you intend to give your children from an earlier marriage or from other relatives.
