Yes, prenuptial agreements are an excellent way to create certainty around which parties own what property at the outset, and possible dissolution, of a marriage.
Knowing that your spouse may make investments or other contributions to your business, a prenuptial agreement can ensure that regardless of those contributions, the business remains a separate asset that won’t be liquidated or distributed in the event of a divorce.
Remember that prenups don’t anticipate a divorce, they just provide both partners with clear guidance in the event that the marriage doesn’t work out.
A properly written prenup will include the interests of both spouses, and present a balanced approach to the terms of a divorce, should one happen.
To be enforceable, your fiance should have their own attorney review the document and negotiate potential changes.
Remember, a prenup that can’t be enforced in court is just a very expensive piece of paper, so work together to draft a document that provides for both of your interests.
The attorneys at Friedman & Ranzenhofer can help you have the security you need to enter your marriage worry-free.
