Premarital Agreements
Premarital Agreements That Respect the Relationship
A premarital agreement is a legally binding plan that outlines how finances and assets will be handled if the relationship changes down the line. It doesn’t assume failure, it creates clarity. It’s one of the most proactive, respectful ways two people can protect their future together. Instead of guessing how things might unfold in five, ten, or twenty years, you agree on the rules now, while you’re in a good place to do so.
This isn’t just for the ultra-wealthy or headline-making celebrity couples. It’s for anyone who’s worked hard to build what they have, or who wants to make sure their family, business, or long-term goals are respected, no matter what the future brings.
How We Help Clients
While divorce is the most commonly discussed trigger, premarital agreements can be useful in all kinds of major life transitions:
- Separation: If a couple separates but doesn’t divorce right away (or at all), a premarital agreement can clarify how finances, support, or property should be handled during that time.
- Death of a spouse: Some agreements include terms that influence estate distribution or protect children from prior relationships, especially in blended families.
- Debt protection: If one partner accrues significant debt during the marriage, a premarital agreement can help ensure the other isn’t held responsible, depending on how the agreement is written.
- Property sales or major life events: Some agreements include clauses tied to big moments, like buying or selling a home, having children, or relocating, and outline what happens if those milestones occur.
Prepared Isn’t Pessimistic. It’s Practical
It’s not about being pessimistic. It’s about being prepared. And when it’s done right, a premarital agreement can reduce stress, eliminate uncertainty, and set the tone for a marriage built on mutual understanding and clear expectations.
We draft premarital agreements that are realistic, enforceable, and tailored to your actual life, not a worst-case scenario from someone else’s drama. Whether you’re walking into a new marriage or revisiting an existing agreement, we’re here to make sure it’s all written down, squared away, and ready to hold up when it matters most.
