Getting married is one of the happiest times of your life. Just like planning for the wedding is a priority, planning for

how your assets will be handled once you are married should be a priority as well. If you are wondering “Do I need a Prenup?” I hope this blog gives you a place to start in answering this question.

What is a Prenup?

In New Hampshire, Prenups can be called by several names, Antenuptial Agreement or Prenuptial Agreement. A Prenup for short, is an agreement entered into with your fiance prior to your wedding day. It is designed to state how you would like your assets handled should a “marriage termination event” take place.

Why would I need a Prenup?

Anyone who has personal and/or business assets established prior to the marriage could benefit from a Prenup. A Prenup will disclose your assets and debts to your fiance to ensure that you both have a clear financial picture prior to the wedding ceremony. The goal of a Prenup is to set your intentions with regards to how finances will be handled during the marriage and how they will be handled if the marriage ends. If done correctly, a potentially long, expensive Court battle down the road can be avoided. Many people create estate plans to avoid the same type of future expense and headache; a Prenup can accomplish a similar goal.

Hopefully you will never need to use your Prenup but having it is a great step in ensuring that you and your future spouse are on the same financial page.
