McKinney Prenuptial Agreements Attorney

Frisco Prenuptial Agreements Lawyer Serving Collin County

Embarking on life's adventures with a new spouse is an exciting proposition. At such a wonderful time in your life, it's understandable that you don't want to think about the possibility of splitting up later on. However, having a prenuptial agreement is the best way to protect your valuable assets and provide you with an opportunity to have a potentially eye-opening conversation before you get married.

What Is a Prenuptial Agreement?

A prenuptial agreement is a legal contract between prospective spouses that lays out a plan for how assets should be treated during their marriage and in the event of a divorce. A prenup agreement, also referred to as a premarital agreement, can help couples:

• Protect the inheritance of children born prior to the marriage
• Establish property and alimony rights
• Identify each party's assets and estates
• Draw distinctions between joint property and separate property

Broaching the subject of a prenuptial agreement is not the most romantic thing to do in the lead-up to the wedding. However, a strong agreement can set your mind at ease, allowing you to enter into your marriage knowing that your assets are secure, no matter what the future brings. If your future includes a divorce or financial difficulties, the agreement can provide you with valuable certainty during a tumultuous time.
