Phoenix, AZ estate planning attorney Mark A. Bregman talks about his experience with premarital agreements. He notes that premarital agreements are not a significant part of his practice, as most clients who seek his services are already married. However, when individuals—or their children—consult with him prior to marriage, premarital planning can be very important. This is especially true in situations where one party has children from a prior marriage or wishes to preserve a separate estate apart from a new spouse.

His focus in this area differs from premarital agreements that address issues such as spousal support or child custody, which he does not handle. Instead, his role centers on estate-related planning to ensure assets are properly protected and managed in light of marriage and blended family considerations.
