Getting married is one of the happiest moments in anyone’s life. However, people forget that part of planning for the upcoming wedding should include a premarital agreement / prenuptial agreement or what everyone calls a “Prenup”. The ever-dreaded prenup has dragged a negative stigma with it for years and is still thought by many to be only appropriate for the rich and famous. Times have changed! A rise in entrepreneurship, higher salaries, access to investment opportunities, and people getting married later in life has opened the eyes of many to the need for a prenup when getting married. 

​

Prenuptial agreements can be as complex or as simple as possible; it is not an all or nothing agreement. Many individuals simply wish to protect the business they have worked so hard to grow from the ground up or simply to protect investments or retirement accounts. Also, many times it is the lovely couples’ family who wishes the soon to be newlyweds to get a prenup to protect the family’s assets.

In Florida, Prenuptial Agreements require strict guidelines to be followed during the drafting and signing process; failure to follow these could result in an invalid Agreement should a divorce ever happen. It is important to get the assistance of experienced counsel who will ensure that all requirements are followed so you are truly protected.
