The Benefits of Prenuptial Agreements
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are powerful tools to protect assets if a divorce ever happens. The earlier you draft one, the stronger it stands up in court.
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are effective tools to protect assets in the event of a divorce. A prenup can address issues involving property division — including the division of assets and debts — and clarify what stays separate and what becomes marital property. If you have considered a prenuptial agreement, the next step is to talk with the lawyers at The Law Offices of Patrick L. Cordero.
When a Prenup Makes the Most Sense
A premarital or prenuptial agreement can be crafted to meet your individual needs. Prenups are particularly beneficial for people who are entering into a second marriage and want to protect separate property, who have children from previous marriages, or who have significant inheritances, business interests, or other substantial assets.
When we work with clients, we take a hands-on approach: we discuss the benefits of a prenuptial agreement, the things to consider when drafting one, and the issues that cannot be covered (such as child support amounts). Our goal is an agreement that effectively protects your interests and will hold up if challenged.
Postnuptial Agreements
If you're already married, a postnuptial agreement can serve a similar role — protecting separate property, addressing inheritances, or restructuring expectations after a major change in finances or family circumstances. We draft and review both.
