Prenuptial Agreements, Peabody MA

Prenuptial/Antenuptial
Agreements

Prenuptial agreements, which are also referred to as antenuptial agreements, are often depicted as the tools of unscrupulous would-be spouses. However, they are useful contracts that can assist couples in managing the opportunities and risks of complex and discretionary divorce and estate laws. For instance, prenuptial and antenuptial agreements can:

• stipulate property division and alimony terms in the event of a future divorce or the death of a spouse
• shield property owned by spouses prior to marriage, including inherited property and family businesses in the event of a future divorce of death
• ensure that children from other marriages or children born outside of a marriage will inherit the assets their parents wish
