Plan Ahead With a Prenuptial or Postnuptial Agreement
When drawing up a prenuptial agreement, it is important to ensure that each party clearly and specifically identifies all assets. There should be no questions as to the specific assets of the parties which are being protected by this agreement in the future. Each party should have an attorney who helps identify the understanding of the agreement and further clarifies that there has been no undue pressure or coercion involved in signing the agreement.
- In a second marriage, a prenuptial (or antenuptial) agreement can secure property for children of the first marriage or deal with retirement funds and other assets acquired before the marriage.
- A few years into a marriage, circumstances may change. A postnuptial agreement at a time when you both agree can list assets and determine how those assets should be divided in the event of a divorce.
