Prenups sometimes get a bad rap as being unromantic or damaging to trust. In reality, they are nothing of the sort. A prenuptial agreement can be an excellent tool for establishing clear expectations and making plans for your future.
What Is a Prenuptial Agreement?
A prenuptial agreement determines what will happen with a couple’s money or property if they divorce or die. Prenuptial agreements (also called antenuptial agreements) can dictate how the couple will make purchases and share debt, and whether spousal support will be awarded if they divorce.
Who Should Have a Prenuptial Agreement?
Prenuptial agreements are common among people who are bringing significant assets or debt to a marriage. They are also common for second marriages, people who have children from prior relationships, people who have established businesses, people who are expecting inheritances, or people marrying later in life.
The prenuptial agreement may clarify how property should be divided in those situations. For example, it could explicitly state that business debt will be kept separate from the marital estate. Or it could say what assets should go to a party’s grown children and what assets should go to the spouse in the event of death or divorce.
