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.
