Pre-Nuptials
The Miami law firm of Carmen M. Morales reviews and drafts pre-nuptial agreements for clients throughout South Florida. A pre-nuptial agreement can be invaluable in establishing financial guidelines, especially when substantial assets and income are involved prior to marriage. Advantages offered by a pre-nuptial agreement may include:
- Determining individual assets that remain separate property after marriage
- Establishing financial security for separate property
- Asset preservation for children and beneficiaries
- Provisions for children from a previous marriage
- Agreed upon procedures to resolve changing financial circumstances
- Properly drafted and executed pre-nuptials take precedence over Florida State equitable distribution of property and probate laws.
- Avoidance of litigation over property distribution in event of divorce
When drafting a pre-nuptial agreement, we take into consideration asset protection as well as fair consideration of the other future spouse. Each party should retain their own lawyer when considering a pre-nuptial agreement. We represent parties preparing pre-nuptial agreements and also parties being asked to sign pre-nuptial agreements. Each party needs legal counsel—to negotiate a contract that protects their assets—and to understand their rights and responsibilities before signing the contract.
If you have questions or need assistance in drafting or reviewing a pre-nuptial agreement, contact our firm at 305-379-4221 to arrange a consultation.
