Prenuptial Agreement

Take Charge of Your Future

A prenuptial agreement is a great financial and estate planning tool. Many people think that a prenup is just a plan for divorce. That’s how the movies and/or popular media have portrayed prenups. The reality is a prenup can really help a lot of families, even if there is never a divorce.

For instance, a prenup can keep property and even future income separate in nature instead of community. This can be a useful planning tool if one spouse has a lot of debt and/or potential liabilities.

A prenup can also be incredibly useful for blended families. Let’s say you have children of your own and you’re about to get married. You have two future financial obligations: taking care of your spouse and taking care of your kids. A prenup can help you identify your separate property and allow you more flexibility and certainty in creating an estate plan to take care of your spouse and your kids.

A prenup is also important when you own a business, especially if you have business partners. A divorce and/or unplanned death can wreak havoc on a small business. A prenup can help ensure that your business will be minimally affected by these types of unexpected life events.
