Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements
A prenuptial agreement can provide many benefits. It can identify and protect a person’s separate assets as he or she enters into marriage. It can ensure that children from a previous marriage receive their rightful inheritances. It can strengthen a marriage by eliminating potential sources of conflict and mistrust.

“Give yourself plenty of time with a prenuptial agreement. Waiting until the last minute may cause unnecessary problems. Both parties need plenty of time to understand the prenuptial agreement, review it, and understand the short and long term implications.” Mitch Tacy |
Preparing an Effective Postnuptial Agreement
The fundamental difference between a postnuptial agreement and a prenuptial agreement is the fiduciary duty that spouses owe each other. In a post nuptial agreement, a duty to treat the other spouse fairly will be read into any agreement.
Drafting a postnuptial agreement can offer you and your spouse some security in the event that the marriage ends in a divorce. As with prenuptial agreements, your attorney will need an adequate amount of time to draft an effective postnuptial agreement.
