If your marriage date is still in the
future, you may benefit from the preparation of a Premarital Agreement with your intended spouse
should you have assets that you wish to
protect. Such an agreement is binding upon marriage, and in the event of
any dissolution of the marriage, it protects any property that you have
brought into the marriage.
It also defines rights and
agreed-to obligations such as support.
Think about it; a detailed
contract is prepared when we purchase a
home or a car, when we rent an apartment, or when we decide to seek
employment with a company or enter into a business. Why not in marriage -- one of the most important
actions in our lives? Our Rule of Thumb; If the right or asset
is important, protect it in advance.
