Building Better Futures in Orange County with Marital Agreements
Most people used to think that a prenuptial agreement was only for the rich. In recent years, many couples from all financial backgrounds have come to understand the value that such an agreement provides to a marriage.
A prenuptial agreement can be written to accomplish one or more different purposes. It can provide a form of asset protection for both parties by identifying separate property before the marriage. It can serve as a form of estate planning which can ensure that the adult children of a spouse receive their parent's assets. A prenuptial agreement can remove potential areas of conflict and in so doing, place the marriage on a sound emotional foundation.
