Many Couples Can Benefit From Prenuptial Agreements

More engaged couples are deciding to form antenuptial agreements, which are sometimes called prenuptial agreements. These agreements can be created to accomplish many purposes. They are often used to protect the inheritance rights of children from previous marriages. They can also be used to protect premarital assets in situations involving large estates or to protect the property rights of people who are heirs to a family business.

Protecting Your Rights And Assets

An attorney at our firm will review your situation and your goals. This will involve an in-depth discussion and inventory of your property. In creating an antenuptial agreement, it is important to clearly identify both the premarital assets and premarital debts of each party. Only then can an agreement be drafted that protects you to the fullest extent possible.

Some people hesitate when considering an agreement, thinking that its creation signifies distrust or lack of commitment. However, a premarital agreement can strengthen a marriage by eliminating potential sources of conflict or mistrust.
