Prenup Information

Getting married is as stressful as it is exciting but taking time to create a prenuptial agreement can lessen the stress and ultimately lead to a more predictable, long-lasting, and happy marriage. Below is some general prenuptial agreement information.

Basically, a prenup is a contract between two individuals, allowing them to plan for their financial future together and take the law into their own hands. The Uniform Premarital Agreement Act defines a prenup as “an agreement between prospective spouses made in contemplation of marriage and to be effective upon marriage.” Subject to certain state limitations, prenups may be as novel and complex as you and your spouse desire. Although prenups may be novel and highly specialized, the agreement must be “fair and reasonable” or else the court will deem the prenup unenforceable.

Getting a prenuptial agreement is also an extremely useful estate planning tool. In addition, drafting a prenuptial agreement can stimulate invaluable conversation among couples that helps them identify long-term goals.
