Should you have a prenup?
Prenuptial agreements (or “prenups”) are often associated with wealth, but these agreements are not just for the affluent. When prepared by Andrea, prenuptial agreements can settle property and financial matters before marriage, so that in the unfortunate event of a future divorce, the parties’ legal issues are already resolved.
Statistically, 49 marriages in 100 end in divorce. Many engaged couples are considering how their assets, debts and property should be divided in that event. While that may seem unromantic to some, others consider it to be pragmatic financial planning.
If you are considering a prenuptial agreement, it is crucial to start the discussions and preparation well in advance of the marriage ceremony. Both parties must be represented, and both must disclose their assets and liabilities truthfully and completely.
