For any couple in love, deciding to marry is an exciting and happy time. While most couples put a lot of thought into details like where to hold their ceremony and who to invite, many don’t give enough thought to the importance of having a\u00a0prenuptial agreement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A legally-binding document, a prenuptial agreement helps establish and document the personal wealth and assets that each individual bring to a marriage. When a couple marries, they essentially enter into a contractual agreement with one another that also marries their finances and assets.<\/p>\n

Prenuptial agreements can be used to protect individual wealth as well as safeguard against future disputes related to wealth distribution should a couple divorce. While historically reserved for wealthy individuals, all couples can benefit from having a prenuptial agreement as they afford couples an excellent way to learn about each other’s financial health prior to entering into a marriage.<\/p>\n

While smart and practical, many couples still resist drawing up a prenuptial agreement believing it somehow predestines divorce. Asking a significant other to sign a prenup may be uncomfortable or lead to conflict, but these things can be overcome if a couple is truly in love and committed to one another for the right reasons.<\/p>\n

For individuals bringing a considerable amount of wealth and assets to a marriage, a prenuptial agreement is absolutely necessary. Individuals who own property or stocks and have children from previous relationships need to be cautious and protect their financial future.<\/p>\n
