Typically a prenuptial agreement can cover the following: Each spouse's right to separate and marital property. Each spouse's right to buy, sell, transfer, spend, or manage property and assets during the marriage.Protect one spouse from the debts of the other.
Prenuptial agreements can help guarantee your business goes untouched if your marriage were to end in divorce. If you are debt-free or have substantially less debt that your intended spouse, it can protect you from inheriting a portion of your spouse's debt.
False Information: A premarital agreement is valid only if it is entered into after full disclosure by both parties -- as to their income, assets, and liabilities. If one prospective spouse provides the other with information that is not true, the agreement is invalid.
A premarital agreement must be in writing and signed by both parties. The agreement is enforceable without consideration. The agreement becomes effective on marriage of the parties.
