What is a Prenuptial Agreement?

A Prenuptial Agreement (prenup) is a legally binding contract signed before marriage that determines asset division, debt responsibility, and financial arrangements during marriage and in the event of divorce or death. Essential for couples with significant assets, business ownership, real estate, investments, children from previous relationships, or substantial income differences, this agreement protects individual financial interests while clarifying expectations. The prenup typically addresses property division, spousal support, inheritance rights, debt obligations, business interests, retirement accounts, and estate planning considerations. Particularly valuable for entrepreneurs, professionals, individuals with family wealth, previously married persons, and couples entering second marriages who need clear financial boundaries and protection against potential disputes or lengthy divorce proceedings.
