Is it a good idea to get a prenuptial agreement before we married?
Answer
Couples should definitely consider having a prenuptial agreement. A prenuptial agreement spells out who owns what property and what property is owned jointly and separately. These classifications can be critical when your marriage ends, either in divorce or due to death. A prenuptial agreement gives you control over what assets are considered yours, your spouses, and marital property. This is usually too important an issue to leave to chance or courts!
