Are you getting ready to tie the knot? If so, make sure you take action to protect your premarital property and financial rights. Sure, no one wants to consider that divorce is a possibility, but it’s important to plan for the future. It’s especially important to make these plans if you or your partner is coming into the marriage with considerable assets. Here are some reasons why prenuptial agreements make sense for many couples:

• Prenuptial agreements protect the assets you’re bringing into the marriage from being divided in the case of a divorce.
• Prenuptial agreements are relevant if one partner has excessive debt, so that the other partner doesn’t assume this debt in the event of divorce.
• Prenuptial agreements protect division of property wishes in the event of one’s death. For example, second marriages benefit from prenups when they have grown children that they want to inherit their assets.
• Prenups set up the financial responsibilities in the marriage for both partners.
• Prenups make the divorce process easier. There’s less bickering back in forth about who gets what.
