Preparing to marry someone you love is an exciting time. And while wedding and honeymoon preparations are important, there’s also another task you shouldn’t forget to complete: meeting with a family law attorney to prepare a prenup. It might not seem like the most exciting activity, but the following guide will explain why it’s so important. 

Asset Protection

Before you met your soon-to-be spouse, you had likely acquired important assets over the years. This may include an impressive savings account, stocks, fine jewelry, art, or family heirlooms. As much as you want to share your life with your partner, these items are likely of significant personal importance to you.

By opting for a prenup before you get married, you can clearly lay out which belongings of yours you’d like to claim ownership over in the future. 

Peace of Mind

This isn’t pleasant to think about, but in the event that your marriage doesn’t work out, you’ll want the divorce process to be as streamlined and straightforward as possible. Without a prenup, the proceedings can be complicated and emotional. However, opting for a pre-existing agreement takes a lot of stress and inflammatory factors out of the equation. For example, the asset distribution process will be far simpler. This leaves room for you and your spouse to part ways on good terms and heal faster.
