Prenuptial Agreements

Draft Prenuptial Agreements Correctly in Pennsylvania

Prenuptial agreements are a responsible and effective way to protect your assets, marital property and finances in the event that your marriage ends in a divorce. At the beginning of a marriage, some couples do not like to think about the prospect that the marriage might not last forever. The fact remains that, while going into a marriage with a positive attitude about the future is a wonderful thing, drafting a prenuptial agreement is like buying car insurance; you do not expect to get into a car accident, but you buy the insurance just in case.

Full Disclosure in Drafting Prenuptial Agreements

When drafting a prenuptial agreement prior to entering into a marriage, one of the most important aspects is the full disclosure of assets from both parties. The failure to fully disclose the income, assets and liabilities of each party can render the agreement invalid. This is true whether the failure of full disclosure was intentional or was a legitimate mistake by one or both of the parties involved.
