Prenuptial Agreement Misconceptions

Are you considering signing a prenuptial agreement? If so, there are a few misconceptions you should be aware of first.

To start, there is the idea that the person with less wealth should be fine with signing a prenuptial agreement. To counter that, the person with more wealth should feel entitled to the prenuptial agreement in order to protect his/her assets. However, signing and asking for a prenup is never an easy task and should be done with caution and tact.

Second, you should not wait until the last minute to sign a prenuptial agreement. While you may be busy with planning a wedding and caught up in the romance of the upcoming day, postponing the signing could lead to disaster. Make sure you sign the document at least a few months before the big day to give both parties ample time to review the documents.

If you are not comfortable enough to discuss the prenup with your partner, you may wish to enlist help from a Los Angeles family law attorney who can serve as a mediator and offer support. To get legal assistance as your start discussing your prenup, contact Claery & Green today.
