3 Benefits of Prenuptial Agreements

Posted By Stepniak & Park || 21-Dec-2017

Prenuptial agreements (or prenups) are contracts you sign with your significant other before you marry. This contract is designed to organize your financial situation in the event of your divorce or in case one of you dies. Many people stigmatize prenups as unromantic or untrusting; however, they do have many benefits. Here are 3 possible advantages to signing a prenup before the wedding.

Overriding State Law

Even if you and your spouse never divorce, accidents can happen. If you die and you have children from a previous marriage to care for, all of the property will go to your spouse and children from your current marriage. Your children from your old marriage might not get a cent of your estate. If you sign a prenup, you can ensure everyone you love is cared for rather than relying on state laws to distribute the inheritance.

Avoiding Money Problems

Money problems are one of the biggest reasons many people divorce. Having a prenuptial agreement can prevent you and your spouse from future financial arguments. Signing a prenup is an opportunity to cover all economic bases before the marriage begins. You and your spouse can work out what will happen if one of you loses your job, which accounts should be joint accounts, and what expenses should be shared. This allows you to work out all financial arrangements in advance, so you don’t have to worry about them later.

Avoiding Litigation

Last, one of the reasons people do decide to sign a prenuptial agreement is to protect their own assets in the event you do get a divorce later. Most people agree to marry another person and intend that relationship to last a lifetime; however, almost half of all marriages still end in divorce. Even if you intend to stay with your spouse forever, it doesn’t hurt your marriage to plan for what will happen if you eventually divorce. If you never get divorced, you never have to worry about using the prenup. If you do get divorced, you have an easy way to separate your assets without needing to go to court.
