What Are Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements?

• Prenuptial Agreement (Premarital Agreement): This is a legal contract created and signed by a couple before their marriage. It outlines how financial matters, such as assets, debts, and property, will be handled during the marriage and in the event of death or divorce. They are especially beneficial for individuals with existing assets, business interests, or children from a previous marriage.
• Postnuptial Agreement: This is an agreement created after a couple is already married. It is often used to address a significant life change, such as receiving a large inheritance, starting a business, or simply wishing to clarify financial responsibilities. A postnuptial agreement can protect personal assets from becoming marital property and provide security for both spouses.

Protecting What Matters Most

Both prenuptial and postnuptial agreements serve to protect your financial well-being and provide clear guidelines for the future. They can be used to:

• Protect Assets:

  Safeguard personal assets, including businesses, real estate, inheritance, retirement funds, and investment properties, from being divided in the event of divorce.

• Clarify Financial Roles:

  Establish how marital debts and expenses will be handled, ensuring both parties are on the same page from the start.

• Protect Children’s Inheritance:

  For couples with children from previous relationships, these agreements can ensure that your assets are directed to your intended beneficiaries.

• Promote Transparency:

  By requiring a full and fair disclosure of all financial information, these agreements foster open communication and honesty, creating a strong foundation for your marriage.

• Avoid Future Conflict:

  A well-drafted agreement, compliant with Pennsylvania state law, can prevent costly and emotionally draining legal battles in the future.
