Many people are under the mistaken impression that prenuptial agreements are only for the rich and famous. This is not correct. A prenuptial agreement can benefit people of all incomes and asset levels.
A proper agreement can provide a reassuring source of clarity for any couple. It details each party’s intentions regarding specific assets and financial responsibilities. Examples include:
· One who is left an inheritance
· A winning lottery ticket
· A family-owned business
With the divorce rate being so high in California, a prenuptial agreement can protect the individual’s assets and clarify uncertainties that may arise regarding the division of property, an inheritance or the possibility of spousal support.
If you have questions regarding a prenuptial agreement, contact an experienced Orange County Family Law attorney who will assist you with the preparation and review of a prenuptial agreement.
