PREMARITAL AGREEMENTS
Laying a Strong Foundation for Your Future Together

 

 

       Marriage is a significant milestone in life, and entering into it with clarity and mutual understanding can set the stage for a strong, healthy relationship. At Angela Faye Brown & Associates, we believe that premarital agreements are not just legal documents—they are tools for building trust, ensuring fairness, and protecting the future you and your partner are about to create together.

What Is a Premarital Agreement?

​

       A premarital agreement, also known as a prenuptial agreement or “prenup,” is a legal contract between two people who plan to marry. This agreement outlines how assets, debts, and other financial matters will be handled during the marriage and in the event of a divorce or death. Premarital agreements can also address issues like spousal support and property division, helping couples avoid potential conflicts down the road.

​

       At Angela Faye Brown & Associates, we specialize in drafting clear, fair, and comprehensive premarital agreements that reflect your unique relationship and individual needs. Our goal is to ensure that both parties feel secure and respected as they enter into marriage.

Why We Advocate for Premarital Agreements

​

       We believe that premarital agreements are about more than just protecting assets—they are about creating a strong foundation for your marriage. Here’s why we advocate for them:

​

  1. Encouraging Open Communication: One of the most valuable aspects of creating a premarital agreement is the opportunity it provides for open and honest communication between partners. Discussing financial matters, expectations, and future goals before marriage can help couples understand each other better and set the stage for a relationship built on trust and transparency.
     

  2. Protecting Individual and Shared Assets: A premarital agreement clearly defines what is considered individual property and what is shared marital property. This can be especially important if one or both partners have significant assets, business interests, or inheritances. By establishing these distinctions upfront, you can protect your individual wealth while also ensuring that shared assets are managed fairly.
     

  3. Providing Financial Security: In the event of a divorce, a premarital agreement can provide financial security by outlining how assets and debts will be divided. This can prevent lengthy, contentious disputes and help both parties move forward with their lives more easily. Knowing that your financial future is secure can also bring peace of mind throughout the marriage.
     

  4. Reducing Conflict and Uncertainty: Marriage is a partnership, but it’s also important to plan for the unexpected. A premarital agreement reduces the potential for conflict by setting clear expectations and guidelines for how certain issues will be handled. This reduces uncertainty and helps prevent misunderstandings that could otherwise lead to disputes.
     

  5. Protecting Family Interests: For individuals with children from previous relationships or those who bring significant family wealth into a marriage, a premarital agreement can protect these interests. It ensures that your assets are passed on according to your wishes, providing peace of mind that your family’s future is secure.

Why a Premarital Agreement Might Be Right for You

       If you’re entering into marriage with significant assets, business interests, or simply want to ensure that your financial future is secure, a premarital agreement might be the right choice.
