We understand that planning for the future means protecting what matters most. A well-crafted prenuptial agreement is not about expecting divorce—it’s about building trust, clarity, and peace of mind
A postnuptial agreement is a legal contract made after a couple is already married. It outlines how assets, debts, and financial matters will be handled in the event of divorce, separation, or death. Whether you’re working through a rough patch or just want peace of mind, a postnup can help protect your interests and bring clarity to your marriage.
There are many reasons to create a postnuptial agreement, including:
One spouse inherits significant assets or property
A family business needs protecting
Major financial changes, like a new job or investment
A desire to strengthen the relationship with clear financial expectations
Money is one of the leading causes of marital stress. A well-drafted postnup can help eliminate uncertainty, provide a plan for the future, and reduce conflict before it arises.

A prenuptial agreement (or prenup) and a postnuptial agreement (or postnup) are both legal contracts that outline how assets, debts, and financial matters will be handled in the event of a divorce, separation, or death, but they differ in timing:
Prenuptial Agreement (Prenup)
When it's signed: Before the marriage takes place.
Purpose: A prenup is used by couples to protect assets, clarify financial rights, and outline expectations before they marry. It helps set clear terms in case the marriage ends.
Typical use: Protecting inheritances, businesses, and assets that one spouse wants to keep separate from marital property.
Postnuptial Agreement (Postnup)
When it's signed: After the marriage has already occurred.
Purpose: A postnup serves a similar function but is created once the couple is already married. It can address issues that arise during the marriage, such as changes in financial circumstances or the need for clarification of assets and liabilities.
Typical use: Addressing financial changes, business ownership, or resolving marital disputes that arise after marriage.
