Pre-marital & Post-marital

Premarital Agreements are enforceable.  They are useful at the time of marriage to specify each party’s separate property, and to state a fair settlement in the event of separation or divorce.  In a Premarital Agreement, we can provide for our loved one in the event of death, and establish parameters for spousal support in the event of separation or divorce.

A Premarital Agreement can be a type of “divorce insurance,” because it can save parties significant legal fees.  And, while a promise set forth in an estate plan (or in a will or trust) can be revised or revoked by either spouse, a commitment in a Premarital Agreement is enforceable, and cannot be revised or revoked by one spouse.
