Benefits Of Marital Agreements
Marital agreements offer numerous advantages for couples at any stage of marriage. These benefits include:
- Asset protection for property acquired before marriage
- Clear designation of separate and marital property
- Preservation of family businesses or inheritances
- Protection from each other’s debts
- Simplified division of assets if divorce occurs
- Predetermined spousal support terms
- Protection of inheritance rights for children from previous relationships
These agreements do not indicate a lack of trust but rather demonstrate financial responsibility and practical planning for all possible futures.
Modifying Existing Agreements
As your marriage evolves, so might your financial situation. Significant life changes such as having children, starting a business, receiving an inheritance, or substantial career advancements may necessitate modifications to your existing agreement.
Our lawyers can help you review and update your marital agreement to make sure it continues to reflect your circumstances and intentions. We guide couples through the legal requirements for modifying these documents while preserving their enforceability.
