Let Our Skilled Irvine Attorneys Help With Your Prenuptial Or Postnuptial Agreement

Understanding The Significance Of Prenups And Postnups
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements provide a blueprint for the division of assets and debts in the event of a divorce or the untimely death of a spouse. If properly executed, these agreements will:
- Safeguard individual wealth and properties
- Delineate fiscal responsibilities and entitlements within the marriage
- Prevent a protracted legal battle in the event of a divorce
- Safeguard the financial well-being of children from prior relationships
As the names suggest, prenups are agreed upon before the marriage, while postnups are executed after marrying. There are certain procedural differences between the two, but the essential protections are the same.
Why It Is Important To Seek Guidance From A Knowledgeable Prenup Attorney
