Premarital Agreement Attorneys in Charlotte
At its core, marriage is a contract between two people. It’s only natural to have expectations as to your personal rights and obligations, and your rights to marital property and assets. But if you don’t make those expectations known and discuss them with your soon-to-be spouse, those expectations may not be met. That’s where a premarital agreement — also known as a prenuptial agreement or “prenup” — can come in handy.
The Importance of Premarital Agreements
It’s easy to think of a premarital agreement as planning for the worst, but it’s actually a smart way for an engaged couple to protect their future together. We encourage you and your fiancé to consider the benefits of outlining expectations ahead before your wedding. By discussing and outlining terms in advance, you and your fiancé can enter marriage with a mutual understanding, avoiding potential conflicts down the road.
Initiating the Premarital Agreement Process
Having a lawyer is crucial to be sure your agreement is legally sound, but we suggest discussing some basic terms with your fiancé first. The legal process will be smoother and more personalized if the both of you are on the same page. You know best what you want from your relationship; your team at Dozier Miller knows how to formalize it legally.
