If you are getting married, or if one of your children or grandchildren is getting married, and you wish to take some proactive steps to determine the marital parties’ rights to assets, you will want a prenuptial agreement. Prenuptial agreements can address rights to expected inheritances, interests in trusts, assets acquired prior to marriage and assets acquired during marriage (among other things). A prenuptial agreement should be negotiated and completed well in advance of the wedding date, so don’t wait too long to inquire about its importance in your situation.
