Why Do You Need an Agreement?

It’s Not About Trust. It’s About Clarity.

Many couples view marital agreements as "planning for the end." We view them as planning for a secure beginning. A well-crafted agreement allows you to stop worrying about "what if" and focus on building a life together.

Protect Pre-Marital Assets: Keep the savings, real estate, and investments you worked hard for before the marriage.

Safeguard Your Business: Ensure your professional practice or company remains yours, regardless of what the future holds.

Define Financial Roles: Clearly outline how debts, expenses, and savings will be handled during the marriage.

Secure Inheritance: Ensure family wealth is passed down to children from previous relationships or specific heirs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Marital Agreements

Q: Does a prenup mean we plan to divorce?

A: Absolutely not. Think of it like a seatbelt. You don't wear a seatbelt because you plan to crash; you wear it for safety. A prenup provides financial safety so you can focus on your relationship.

Q: Can a prenup be overturned?

A: If drafted poorly, yes. That is why DIY templates are dangerous. We ensure full financial disclosure and proper legal representation for both parties to ensure the document is ironclad.

Q: Do we both need a lawyer?

A: Yes. For an agreement to be viewed as "fair" by the courts, both parties usually need independent legal counsel to review the terms. We can recommend colleagues for your partner to ensure the process is smooth.
