San Francisco Prenuptial Agreement Lawyers

Prenuptial agreements (also known as prenups) have become an increasingly popular tool for couples looking to build a common understanding of how they want to manage the most important matters in their marriage. At Moradi Saslaw, we understand that thinking about the possible end of an upcoming marriage or domestic partnership is hardly romantic. But sometimes the unexpected finds you, and that’s when you’ll wish you and your partner had taken care of matters before things got divisive. That’s exactly what a prenuptial agreement does.

What are some of the other reasons people choose prenuptial agreements?

While for some couples, going through the process of developing a prenup helps them think through important areas before they get married, others choose to create one to feel a greater sense of security that the property they have going into a marriage will always be their own. Executed correctly, a prenup can clearly establish the property rights of each party, but not all attorneys have the necessary skills to create a document that is enforceable.

Our Premarital Agreements Guide: A few highlights

Our firm has developed a comprehensive guide that can help couples interested in a prenup know what to expect. Here are some of the highlights:

• One of the top 3 reasons for a divorce is misalignment of finances, especially what each person in the relationship is bringing into the marriage. The prenup process can be an essential marriage planning tool because it includes in-depth discussions about financial goals, savings, and expenses before tying the knot.
• Not all prenups are created equally and it is essential to have a good partner guide you through the process. At our firm, we focus on ensuring what you create together (1) creates a stronger relationship with a mutual understanding of issues that are important to each person in the marriage; (2) clarifies important emotional topics like custody and care for pets; (3) is easy to follow so you don’t have to think about it during your marriage; and (4) in the unlikely chance you get divorced, aims to have both people protected within their means; and (5) decreases attorney fees in a divorce.
• Some couples may not feel comfortable having a conversation about a prenup and that is normal since it can seem like they are planning for a divorce. We will guide our clients in having these conversations. Additionally, avoidance equals getting California’s law, which may or may not be what you and your partner want for your lives. Regardless of whether you choose to have a prenup or not, knowing the law that is governing your most important relationship is essential and these discussions will provide you that foundation, and also provide a primer on keeping assets separate should you choose to not move forward with a prenup.

Don’t have a Prenup? Consider a Postnuptial Agreement.

Postnuptial agreements (also known as postnups) can accomplish some of the same goals as prenuptial agreements. The big difference is they are executed after a couple marries or enters into a domestic partnership. Sometimes a couple thinks of starting the prenup process a little too close to the date of their wedding or ceremony and opt to do a postnuptial agreement soon afterwards. Other times, a major life event happens and a couple will use the postnuptial process to help them navigate the impact on the different aspects of their life together.
