What Is a Prenuptial Agreement?

A Prenup Provides Better Protection and More Certainty

A prenuptial agreement is a contract between two people who are getting married. The prenup defines what is separate property and what is marital property. The prenup establishes how property will be divided if the marriage should end.

Because most people enter marriage as a lifelong commitment, they may hesitate to have a prenuptial agreement. They are concerned that a prenup assumes the marriage will end in divorce or assumes a lack of trust.

At Stolar & Associates, our attorneys have counseled many people who are getting married. We have also helped many people unravel complex finances at the end of a marriage – whether it ends because of divorce, separation or death. With one client after another, we have learned the value of planning for whatever life may bring. Negotiating a prenup, in our experience, strengthens a marriage.
