Agreements

Why do same sex couples choose to create a prenuptial agreement?

Many same sex couples pursue a prenuptial agreement because they want clarity about how assets, debts, and financial responsibilities would be treated if the marriage ends. Some partners bring significant assets into the relationship or have children from previous marriages. Others want to classify separate property or discuss property division before the wedding so misunderstandings do not arise later. A prenuptial agreement may also support long term planning by outlining how business interests or future inheritance would be treated.
