Richmond Premarital Agreement Lawyer

Creating Premarital and Post-Marital Agreements in Virginia

Premarital agreements and postnuptial contracts act as safety nets for individuals who wish to protect their property and other assets, or to protect their children. For couples who are mindful of their needs and their future wishes, creating these contracts early on in your marriage, or prior to your wedding day, can help avoid any conflict regarding important issues later on in life.

At Jennings and Jennings, Attorneys at Law, we know that many individuals believe there is a stigma attached to premarital agreements. We understand that the last thing you want to think about when you are preparing for marriage is how you will handle your assets if you ever become divorced. Our Richmond premarital agreement attorneys will work with you to help you overcome your concerns and focus on doing what is best for you and your family.

Helping You Create or Review Your Premarital Agreement

Premarital agreements, also called prenuptial contracts or prenups, are contractual obligations entered into by marrying couples prior to their wedding day. These contracts may include agreements relating to:

• Real property
• Personal property
• Stocks, bonds and other financial assets
• Children (inheritance, custody, visitation and more)
• Spousal support
• Inheritance, including what your spouse may receive from you

If you and your soon-to-be spouse would like to discuss whether a premarital agreement is right for you, reach out to our office. We will sit with you and discuss your concerns. We will help you understand what rights you are maintaining and which ones you are signing away.

If you have been presented with a prenuptial agreement prior to your wedding day, seek legal counsel immediately. It is important you understand what you have in front of you before you decide whether to sign.

Already Married in Virginia? Post-Marital Agreement Lawyers Jennings and Jennings Can Help

After you have been married, it is still possible to enter into a post-marital agreement that effectively works the same as a premarital agreement. However, once you are married, your rights to property, inheritance and other issues have changed.

To best understand your current rights and how they will be affected by a post-marital agreement, speak to an experienced family law attorney at our firm. We will help you understand what rights you are signing away, protecting and potentially compromising.
