Prenuptial pacts unite pragmatic romantics; in addition to safeguarding inheritances, prenuptial contracts can help attorneys protect their firm ownership interests

Article Abstract:

Couples can override state laws on asset division in the case of death or divorce with valid prenuptial agreements. Divorce litigation supports the agreements' utility as practical planning vehicles. Such agreements can cost anywhere from $1,000 to $100,000, depending on the magnitude of the assets involved. Possible innovative clauses, beyond the basics, include an escalation clause, so that the amount of property distribution or alimony goes up incrementally with the length of the relationship, and a self-destruction clause, so that after a relationship of a specified number of years, the agreement is null and void.
