What is a Prenuptial Agreement?

When two people get married, they sign a prenuptial agreement, or "prenup," in writing. Typically, a prenuptial agreement lays out exactly what each party owns, how much they owe, and their rights to their assets after the marriage.

Who Needs a Prenuptial Agreement?

Prenuptial agreements aren't just for the wealthy, contrary to popular belief. Even though prenuptial agreements are commonly used to safeguard the assets of wealthier fiancés, more and more low-income couples are turning to them as well. Some people seek a prenuptial agreement for these reasons:

1. Protecting the individual property of each spouse.

2. Estate planning and avoiding judicial intervention in property distribution.

3. Making clear the difference between marital and community property.

4. Keeping a record of any particular arrangements you and your spouse have worked out.

5. It may save time and money in a divorce by avoiding lengthy courtroom battles.

6. Defining procedures and guidelines for any future problems and concerns.

7. In order to avoid joint financial responsibility for debts such as credit cards, student loans, and mortgages, debts might be assigned to one or both of the spouses.

Why Get a Prenuptial Agreement?

If you're getting married soon, it's understandable that you and your fiancé may be hesitant to look into getting a prenuptial agreement. Prenuptial agreements are often reluctantly signed. People believe it implies that the relationship will end in divorce or that marriage is a business transaction.

This might be thought of as a type of protection against risk. You're not assuming that your house will burn down when you buy home insurance. Insuring against a significant accident isn't the only reason people acquire disability insurance. You want to know that if something horrible happens, you're covered.
