Henderson Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements Lawyer

Secure Your Future With a Prenup or Postnup in Nevada 

People often associate prenuptial agreements with the expectation that a marriage will eventually fail. The truth, however, is that they can provide important provisions for business ventures, inheritances, real estate, and other issues that could affect your future if your marriage does end. Talking about these matters now with your spouse may be difficult but—as our firm can attest—it is much easier than untangling them later in the courtroom.

Prenuptial vs. Postnuptial Agreements

The difference between a prenuptial and postnuptial agreement is the time they are written and made official. Postnuptial agreements are very similar to prenuptial agreements in what they contain, except they are made after a couple becomes married.

There are many reasons why a couple may choose to get a postnuptial agreement, such as:

• One spouse could have started a business.
• One spouse stops working to take care of the family.
• Prior children are involved that need to be included with special guidelines.
• A spouse may have a large inheritance incoming and would like to separate it.
• A spouse may be planning to liquify a business.
• One spouse could own a business with a partner and his or her business partner wants the business excluded from the marriage.

What Makes a Premarital Agreement Valid?

In the state of Nevada, a prenup or postnup may become valid if:

• The agreements are in writing
• Both parties enter into the agreement voluntarily and with mutual consent
• Neither party member must have been threatened or burdened to sign off on the terms
