Prenuptial And Postnuptial Agreements

Do You Worry Whether You’ll Be Financially Protected After A Divorce Or Death?

You enter a marriage with the best intentions, but who can say what the future holds? While planning ahead for a divorce or death may be difficult, being unprepared for such events can have dire consequences. For this reason, it is crucial to make proactive choices ahead of time that prioritize your financial future.

When you’re coping with the pain of losing a loved one or the dissolution of a marriage, the added burden of worrying about your financial security can be overwhelming. Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are contracts made between you and your spouse that deal specifically and pre-emptively with these complex financial issues that often arise when a marriage unexpectedly ends.

What Are The Benefits And Drawbacks Of Prenuptial And Postnuptial Agreements?

A prenuptial agreement (before marriage) or postnuptial agreement (after marriage) can effectively set expectations and avoid discord about how key financial issues will be handled in the event of divorce or death. If both parties agree, they can predetermine:

• How assets and debts will be divided.
• Issues of inheritance, including those that arise with blended families (e.g., providing for children from prior marriages).
• How and if employment, retirement, and investment income created during the marriage will be divided.
• Defining the financial obligations of each party during the marriage.
• The protection of pre-marital assets and business interests.

For all their advantages and practicality, “prenups” and “postnups” can be hard to navigate. For instance, many people don’t know how to raise the subject with their partner. What you consider planning for all contingencies may be received as distrust or lack of faith in the relationship. Additionally, openly disclosing your assets and negotiating the division of joint and separate property can be a challenging hurdle in a new marriage.

While these conversations are essential, they can easily be mishandled — risking the transformation of a life partner into an adversary. By working alongside a legal professional, you’ll be able to approach these matters with the sensitivity and care necessary for effective communication.
