If an individual has a sizeable income or significant assets, it may be critical to draft a prenuptial agreement to help protect such assets and/or an inheritance from division during a divorce. If a high-net-worth individual is already married, it is not too late to put protections in place, however. In such cases, a postnuptial agreement can be drafted, which functions in virtually the same capacity as a prenuptial agreement.
While it can be difficult to suggest a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement to a partner or spouse, if you have significant assets, it is in your best interests to take advantage of all beneficial legal protections in seeking to secure you and your family’s future. Executing a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement may provide the peace of mind you need and deserve.
