Formalizing Your Marriage Intent
A prenuptial agreement is a legal document that allows two people who are planning to marry to outline how certain financial matters will be handled during the marriage and, if necessary, in the event of divorce or annulment. Often referred to as a “prenup,” this type of agreement can address topics such as property ownership, division of assets and debts, and potential spousal support.

Prenuptial agreements can also help protect property that one spouse brings into the marriage or clarify how future assets may be handled.
