Protecting Your Assets and Property
Prenuptial and post-nuptial agreements are hardly the most romantic part of a new marriage. However, prenuptial or post-nuptial agreements allow people to maintain ownership of assets in the event of divorce. These agreements are particularly useful in cases where one or both spouses own businesses or have substantial assets. Further, prenuptial agreements can serve as a pragmatic step in ensuring that children from a prior marriage are protected.
