Post-Nuptial Agreements

A post-nuptial agreement is a legal contract created between spouses after marriage. It outlines the division of assets, financial responsibilities, and other key matters in the event of separation, divorce, or death. These agreements help clarify financial expectations and protect both parties from potential disputes.

Why Consider a Post-Nuptial Agreement?

  • Protection of individual assets acquired during the marriage
  • Debt responsibility clarification
  • Safeguarding business interests
  • Addressing inheritance and estate planning concerns
  • Strengthening financial transparency in the relationship

Post-nuptial agreements must be fair, voluntary, and legally enforceable, often requiring legal counsel to ensure compliance with state laws.
