What Are Asset Protection and Prenuptial Agreements?
Your home, your vehicles, your lifestyle and your family’s future. There are many things in life that you may want to protect. As the saying goes, “life happens,” and when you least expect it, you may find yourself in need of options to help protect what you’ve worked so hard for.
Asset protection planning involves protecting yourself, your business, and your hard-earned assets from divorce.
A prenuptial agreement, also known as a marriage agreement, is a contract between two people planning to marry that determines the rights they have to each other’s property. Prenuptial agreements are used to control how property will be divided in the event of divorce or the death of one of the spouses.
When you get married, the law gives you and your spouse certain rights to each other’s property. This includes property you acquire during your marriage and may include property you acquired before you were married. A prenuptial agreement can restrict the rights of a spouse to property acquired before marriage or a marriage-like relationship. In other words, separate property can remain separate.
A problem in many divorces is deciding how to divide property. Many prenuptial agreements are entered simply because couples do not want the courts to decide on asset distribution should the marriage end.
