Prenuptial Agreements
 
A prenuptial agreement is a contract between two people, who as the name suggests, are about to get married. The agreement spells out how each person’s assets will be distributed in the event the other spouse dies or the couple divorces. The common misconception is that a person must be rich before he or she should consider obtaining a prenup. However, a person who has saved a couple thousand dollars toward retirement has just as much to lose, relatively, as someone who has millions. Actually, you should consider having a prenup if you are in any of the following categories:
  • You have assets such as a home, stock or retirement funds;
  • Own all or part of a business;
  • You may be receiving an inheritance;
  • You have children and/or grandchildren from a previous marriage;
  • One of you is much wealthier than the other;
  • One of you will be supporting the other through college;
  • You have loved ones who need to be taken care of, such as elderly parents;
  • You are expecting a big increase in income.

Contact Kaminsky, Thomas, Wharton, Lovette & Vigna to discuss whether a prenuptial agreement is right for you.
