In a Prenuptial Agreement, you are able to specify certain assets to remain your separate property, what you would like to be considered “shared property,” and how you would like to classify future assets. You and your partner are also able to decide how one party would benefit in a certain way from the marriage. If you own a business, a Prenuptial Agreement can protect your partner from debts associated with failed ventures.

A Prenuptial Agreement would not work for married couples, however, a Postnuptial Agreement would. Postnuptial Agreements generally include the same types of provisions as Prenuptial Agreements. The primary difference is that Prenuptial Agreements are entered in advance of a marriage, whereas Postnuptial Agreements are entered after the couple is already legally committed.
A Prenuptial Agreement can be hard for certain couples to understand, however, there are many ways to open up communication with your partner to assure them of its benefits. You can begin by explaining to your spouse about its purpose, which is taken to reflect both sides of the party. Make sure to start the conversation well before marriage because it reduces the emotional pressure and helps make your partner feel more relaxed. The most important way to introduce the idea of signing a Prenuptial Agreement is to be collaborative when deciding set terms. Consider it an opportunity to discuss and understand what each of you expects from the marriage. Your partner will have needs and concerns that differ from or contradict your own, so listen to their perspective with an open mind.
