Prenuptial Agreement by Catherine M. Reese, PLC of Fairfax, Virginia

Prenuptial Agreements
Prenuptial Agreements are wise for anyone entering into a marriage with wealth they would like to protect. The reasons for wanting to protect themselves varies. They may have gone through a divorce, they may have worked hard to earn the assets, they may want to protect funds for the benefit of existing children.

Ms. Reese can draft a Prenuptial Agreement for you, or help you review a document to ascertain if it is a document you are willing to sign. More often than not, there is a negotiation that goes on before any agreement is signed. She can draft, review and negotiate for you to ensure a fair result.

Prenuptial Agreements FAQ
Question: Do I have to have a Prenuptial Agreement to protect my interests?
Answer: No. The law will generally allocate to you any property you owned before marriage if you do not mingle it to the point of non-recognition with marital property and the courts will divide marital property between the parties absent an agreement in the event of a divorce.
Question: What happens to the agreement if we don't marry?
Answer: They are valid upon marriage, so the contract never comes into play.
