In the day of quick marriages and even quicker divorces, the use of a Prenuptial Agreement is not as unusual as it once was. In the past, there was a stigma associated with using these agreements. If you asked for a "Prenup" the unspoken message was that the marriage would not last forever. This is no longer the case, and more and more couples are finding them a useful tool for planning for the future. Another misconception is that it was once thought that a Prenuptial Agreement was only for the very rich. Clearly this is not the case, and people from all walks of life are finding them useful tool not only for the management of their assets and liabilities, but also as a compliment to an estate plan.

A Prenuptial Agreement is an agreement between two people who are anticipating marriage. In the document, the parties set out how they would like their debts and assets distributed in the event of death or divorce. Even if you feel that you don't have a large amount of assets, it is still important for many couples. For instance, if your partner has a high amount of debt, a Prenuptial Agreement will prevent creditors coming after you in the event of a divorce. Or perhaps you have a child from a different marriage, or previous support obligations. If you should pass away, the agreement could keep your previously acquired assets separate from your current marital estate. If you have children from a previous marriage it will ensure that they receive part of your estate.

There are many reasons to use a Prenuptial Agreement that make sense for both parties involved. When you purchase this form, you can feel confident in knowing that your [STATE] Prenuptial Agreement is attorney drafted, and compatible with the laws of your state.

This form includes the following key provisions:

  • Separate Property: The agreement will allow the parties to set out the property being brought into the marriage that should remain separate in the event of death or divorce;
  • Shared Property: Identifies property that will be shared;
  • Division of Property: Sets out how all property will be divided in the event of death or divorce;
  • Disclosure of Assets and Liabilities: Gives the couple the opportunity to define each party's assets and debts coming into the marriage. This is an important provision as failure to list all assets and liabilities can actually invalidate the agreement;
  • Alimony, Support and Maintenance: Sets out any payments that will be made.
  • Estate Planning/Wills: References the estate plan and/or wills of the couple and identifies what will be included (this is a great tie in with a comprehensive estate plan);
  • Additional Clauses: Provides room for the parties to add additional provisions that they may find important.

These accurate and easy to use forms will help you protect your rights, property and yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Prenuptial Agreement is a legal document created by two individuals before they marry, outlining how their assets and debts will be managed in the event of divorce or death.

A Prenuptial Agreement can protect your assets, clarify financial responsibilities, and ensure that your wishes regarding property distribution are respected, especially in complex financial situations.

Yes, a Prenuptial Agreement can be modified after marriage, but both parties must agree to the changes and typically must do so in writing.

Yes, as long as the agreement meets certain legal requirements, such as full disclosure of assets and voluntary consent from both parties, it is generally enforceable in court.

Without a Prenuptial Agreement, assets and debts acquired during the marriage may be subject to state laws regarding property division, which may not align with your personal wishes.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are entering a second marriage may find a Prenuptial Agreement essential to protect the interests of children from their previous relationships. This agreement can ensure that their assets are distributed according to their wishes, safeguarding their children's inheritance.
  • Couples with significant disparities in debt levels often utilize a Prenuptial Agreement to prevent one partner from being held responsible for the other's financial obligations in the event of a divorce. This proactive step can provide peace of mind and financial security for both parties.
  • For those who have accumulated substantial assets prior to marriage, a Prenuptial Agreement serves as a critical tool to define what property remains separate. This clarity can help avoid disputes and confusion should the marriage end or one partner pass away.
  • Situations requiring clarity in financial responsibilities during a marriage can benefit from a Prenuptial Agreement. By outlining alimony and support obligations, couples can establish expectations and reduce potential conflicts in the future.
  • Couples planning to marry who wish to integrate their Prenuptial Agreement with their estate plans will find this document particularly useful. It can help ensure that their wishes regarding asset distribution are honored, both during their lifetime and after death.

Do Not Use If:

  • This form is not appropriate for couples who are entering a marriage without a clear understanding of their financial situation. If one or both parties are not fully disclosing their assets and debts, the agreement may be invalidated.
  • Individuals who are under duress or coercion should avoid using a Prenuptial Agreement. It is essential that both parties enter into the agreement willingly and without pressure to ensure its validity.
  • A Prenuptial Agreement may not be suitable for couples who have a strong belief in the permanence of their marriage and do not wish to consider the possibility of divorce. Such an agreement could create unnecessary tension.
  • If one party is significantly wealthier and is using the agreement to impose unfair terms on the other, it may not be appropriate. Both parties should have equal bargaining power to create a fair agreement.
  • Couples who are not legally allowed to marry or are in a relationship that does not qualify for marriage under state law should not use this form, as it is designed specifically for legally recognized marriages.
