Marriage is both a romantic and legal partnership. While no one enters a marriage expecting it to end, planning for the future with a prenuptial agreement can provide peace of mind and financial security for both partners. At Ossian, Zdravko & Gregg, we help clients create clear, enforceable prenuptial agreements that protect their interests and reduce uncertainty.
What Is a Prenuptial Agreement?
A prenuptial agreement—or “prenup”—is a legal contract created before marriage that outlines how financial matters will be handled during the marriage and in the event of a divorce or death. It can address property division, debt allocation, spousal support, and more. Far from being unromantic, a prenup can actually strengthen a relationship by fostering open communication and setting clear expectations.
Prenuptial agreements aren’t just for the wealthy. You should consider a prenup if:
* You own a business or professional practice.
* You have significant assets, investments, or inheritance. * You have children from a previous relationship.
* You want to protect yourself from your partner’s debts.
* You are remarrying and want to preserve your estate plan.
