San Francisco Prenuptial Agreement Attorneys
What is a Prenuptial Agreement?
Prenuptial agreements are legally-binding documents that provide specific instructions as to how separate property will be divided and allocated upon divorce, separation, or death. Prenuptial agreements are filed prior to the marriage, and remain valid unless both spouses agree to modify or disregard the agreement.
What is the benefit of a Prenuptial Agreement?
Although it may be difficult to approach the topic of prenuptial agreements, more and more couples are seeing the value of drafting a prenuptial agreement. We understand that no one wants to think about divorce right before marriage. We also know that discussing the terms of a prenuptial nuptial agreement can make things tense and uncomfortable. However, if you can put these feelings aside and get a prenuptial agreement drafted, signed, and filed with the court, you won’t regret it. You never know how or if a marriage will end. You may think your marriage will last forever. We certainly hope it does. But if it doesn’t you need to be prepared and protected. Having a valid prenuptial agreement filed with the court will ensure the property or assets you held before your marriage will remain in your possession.
In addition, a prenuptial agreement can also specify how property acquired during the marriage, referred to as marital property, will be divided in the event of divorce. Because California is a community property state, all marital property is subject to equitable distribution, and will be divided 50/50. Including specific instructions in your prenuptial agreement in regards to your marital property is a great way to make sure your marital property is divided in a way that suits the needs and meets the satisfaction of both you and your future spouse.
