Understanding Prenuptial Agreements
The attorneys and staff at the office of The Gufford Law Firm, P.A., can assist you in determining the assets and property that need to be protected and how best to preserve their integrity for the future when you are entering into a marriage.
One effective way to protect your property and assets when entering into a marriage is a prenuptial agreement. This is a document that lists all of your individual assets and property, which will not be considered marital property once you are married.
Since they are not considered marital property, they cannot be divided by the equitable distribution laws that govern the distribution of property upon divorce. Having a legally binding prenuptial agreement in place does not automatically mean that you are preparing for a divorce. We understand the concerns individuals have regarding the stigma often attached to prenuptial agreements. However, our lawyers effectively explain how a prenuptial agreement can be extra protection for your assets.
We have over 25 years of experience handling the establishment of prenuptial agreements for clients across the area and can discuss how a prenuptial agreement can be beneficial for you, regardless of whether this is your first marriage, 10th marriage or any number in between.
Our firm also provides assistance and guidance in a range of other marital agreement issues, including postnuptial agreements.
