Pre-marital agreements and postnuptial agreements often get a bad rap. After all, it’s essentially a legal contract between you and your soon-to-be or current spouse that sets rules on things like property, assets, and certain marital obligations. While we agree that these agreements can create tricky conversations that must be handled delicately, there is no denying the benefits.
Few people understand all the ins and outs of pre-marital and postnuptial agreements, including the pros and cons, how they differ, and who they benefit. Therefore, we have compiled a short list of every blog post we’ve written up to this point on the matter.
These 5 Blog Posts Will Help You Understand Pre-Marital and Postnuptial Agreements
7 benefits of a pre-marital agreement
Perhaps the most significant benefit of a pre-marital agreement is that by creating one and signing it, potential disputes can be resolved and potentially avoided entirely — especially if the relationship ends in divorce. Read more in this blog post.
Is a postnuptial agreement really a thing?
Pre-marital agreements must be executed before soon-to-be spouses say, “I do.” Meanwhile, a postnuptial agreement (or marital property agreement) is signed and agreed to during the marriage.
Will my pre-marital agreement protect my business from divorce?
Theoretically, you could draft an agreement outlining how the business will be divided if you ever divorce. As a result, you can save yourself many sleepless nights worrying about your company’s future and your business interests.
Can I include anything in a pre-marital agreement?
Naturally, you might think you can include anything in a pre-marital agreement. Well, not so fast. While a pre-marital agreement is an option for many couples and can set rules on matters like property, assets, and certain marital obligations, some things can’t be written into the language of the contract under any circumstances.
Can a pre-marital agreement conflict with a Will?
While everyone’s situation is unique, including how both documents were written and executed, it is very likely that the terms of a previously existing pre-marital agreement could clash with or even contradict the will.
