Prenuptial Agreements
Work With a Prenuptial Agreements Attorney in Maryland to Protect Yourself and Your Assets
Before tying the knot, it’s important to consider a prenuptial agreement. This contract, signed by both soon-to-be spouses, determines how assets will be divided if the marriage ends in divorce. If you’re in Maryland and you need guidance on prenuptial agreements, turn to the experienced attorneys at the Law Offices of Ellen L. Lee. We’re here to ensure fairness for our clients.
Who Benefits from a Prenuptial Agreement?
A prenuptial agreement can be beneficial if any of the following apply to you:
- You have children
- You own significant property
- You own a business
- Your income exceeds $100,000 per year
- You have been previously married
The Advantages of a Prenuptial Agreement
In Maryland, a prenuptial agreement offers several advantages in the event of divorce:
- Protection of prenuptial assets
- Avoidance of costly litigation
- Protection against prenuptial creditors
- Safeguarding the interests of children from previous relationships
Understand that without a prenuptial agreement, Maryland law calls for the equitable distribution of all marital property. With a prenuptial agreement, you and your spouse make the decisions regarding the property interests in question. If you are already married, you can pursue a similar solution in the form of a postnuptial agreement. A prenuptial agreement can also be revoked with the agreement of both spouses after you are married.
