Prenuptial Agreements
Prenuptial agreements protect your property as separate property, which is not subject to equitable distribution in case of a divorce. It can also help support your estate plan, save money and emotional troubles in case of a divorce, and establish rules for deciding marital matters.
A prenuptial agreement will protect:
Assets such as a home, real estate investments stock or retirement funds;
Business and professional practice;
The value of academic or professional degree (you may have to pay part of its value in case of divorce);
Any future increases in income.
A prenuptial agreement is not a sign that the couple does not trust each other and does not believe in the marriage. Just as business contracts include clauses in case business partnerships dissolve, so should people entering into a life partnership. Not only can it help in case of a divorce, but a prenup can help resolve many issues that may arise in a successful marriage. Discussing them prior to marriage may actually prevent a divorce!
The Storobin Law Firm can prepare a prenup agreement for you for only $799. Call to consult a lawyer at (800) 391-8392.
