Protecting Rights and Assets through Prenuptial Agreements
Resolutions with Integrity and Civility
At its heart, marriage is about love, sharing and commitment. It also involves the commingling of assets, and sometimes runs its course unexpectedly, resulting in the need to negotiate a parting of ways and disentangling of lives.
In a world that offers few opportunities to control how the future will look, prenuptial agreements stand out. Prenuptial agreements offer numerous practical advantages to thoughtful couples, including the ability to:
- Determine ahead of time how to share and divide personal and marital property, including real estate, stocks, retirement accounts, businesses and acquired income. Couples can also lay out parameters regarding the division of debt
- Care for loved ones by agreeing how assets will be distributed in the event of death. When you remarry, children from a previous marriage may be cut from your estate without a will or premarital agreement
- Determine how disputes will be resolved in the event of separation. For instance, couples can legally commit to avoiding litigation in the event of divorce and opt for arbitration, mediation or collaborative law instead
