Considering a prenuptual agreement is a
very personal question. Um, but there
are some things to consider uh regarding
whether or not it’s a good fit for you
um and the individual who you’re engaged
to prior to marriage. Some of the things
that we see commonly in our office are
individuals who are heading into a
second marriage where possibly the first
marriage was dissolved by a divorce. Um
or it can also be a situation where a
first spouse passed away. Um and
frequently in situations where there may
be children from those um prior
relationships. It is common to uh try to
delegate. How will we um decide who
receives these assets in the event our
union were to dissolve? Or what most
people don’t understand is prenuptual
agreements don’t just um dictate what
happens to assets uh during a dissol
dissolution but they can also deal with
what happens to assets if one of the
partners were to pass away. Um so that’s
a very common way. Also, we will have
situations where children who are
getting married may be inheriting
significant assets and they may not even
have those assets yet, but they may be
inheriting them. So, there are many ways
we can write prenuptual agreements um
where assets that you are bringing into
the marriage can be divided the way that
you and your partner would like or
assets that you inherit or are gifted to
you during the relationship can be
divided in a certain way as well. And
all of our attorneys would be happy to
walk through um what your options are
specifically um and what type of
prenuptual agreement would be best to
meet those.
