Advantages Of A Prenuptial Agreement

The truth is that any couple can have a prenuptial agreement. It is up to the couple to decide on the terms of their prenup. You should decide on what you believe will work best for you based on your particular circumstances.

In any relationship, particularly in a marriage, communication is the key to success. However, speaking up and asserting yourself can be difficult for some. Some people would rather not rock the boat for fear that even mentioning the words “prenuptial agreement” may cause conflict in the relationship. In the long run, this will be far from true.

Some of the advantages that a prenup can offer are that it:

  • Differentiates between the spouses' separate property and marital property
  • Acts a support system to one's estate plan, and prevents the courts from intervening and deciding how to divide the property
  • Documents any special agreements that the spouses have
  • Cuts down on lengthy courtroom procedures, which prevents the divorce matter from becoming too long and drawn-out
  • Serves to lessen any disputes that might arise during divorce
  • Lays down the rules and instructions for handling any future issues
  • Assigns responsibility for loans, credit cards, mortgages and any other sources of debt
