Prenuptial Agreements (How to Write a Fair & Lasting Contract) - 9781413333756

Marriage is about so much more than planning the perfect wedding and saying “I do.” Marriage is also a legal contract that binds two people together in many aspects of life, including finances. If you don’t want to let state law dictate how to allocate your assets and debts in the case of a split, take control by entering into a prenuptial agreement with your soon-to-be spouse. Whether you're managing student debt, protecting a business you've built, safeguarding inherited assets, addressing a partner's debt, or entering a second marriage with higher stakes, you'll find clear, actionable information that you can use to draft an agreement customized to your situation. And although many people think that creating a prenup is inevitably adversarial, it doesn’t have to be. This book offers solid advice on how to make sure that the process of entering into a prenup is an exercise in communication and planning that will strengthen any marriage.

Prenuptial Agreements empowers you with the knowledge and confidence to protect what matters most, all while building a foundation of trust as you begin your marriage. The 8th edition is completely updated with the current laws of your state, and it includes clear instructions any couple can use to write a fair and legal agreement.
