Is a Premarital Agreement Right for You?
Premarital agreements are not right for everyone, and many couples choose to move forward without them. But it is in your best interest to understand what they can do for you and what your options are. If you choose to have a premarital agreement in place, the attorneys at Peterson & Peterson will help you ensure it meets your unique needs and that all current assets and liabilities are accurately disclosed.
Act Quickly to Protect Your Rights
It is important to make sure a premarital agreement is negotiated and in place months prior to the marriage. You cannot sign one after your marriage, and agreements hastily done right before a wedding have a tendency to miss key elements, leaving both parties less protected than they would like.
A good premarital agreement will account for current assets and debts as well as assets acquired during the marriage. A well drafted premarital agreement should provide clear definitions and classification over assets and liabilities that undoubtedly accrue during the marriage.
If a marriage lasts for even a short period of time, many people do not necessarily own the same property they did at the time of marriage, and a premarital agreement that defines the parties rights only by reference to the assets that exist at that time will quickly be out of date. If you choose to pursue a prenuptial agreement, Peterson & Peterson will work diligently to do it right, helping you avoid future problems.
