Prenups & Postnups

 Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements in Florida: Protecting Your Future. 

 Whether you are planning to marry or are already married, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements can provide clarity, security, and peace of mind. These legally binding contracts allow couples to define how assets, debts, and other financial matters will be handled in the event of divorce or death. 

 While these agreements can benefit any couple, they are especially valuable in second or third marriages, where protecting assets for children from previous relationships is often a top priority. 

  

Why Consider a Prenuptial or Postnuptial Agreement 

    •    Preserve family wealth or inheritance 

    •    Protect business interests or real estate holdings 

    •    Establish financial expectations and responsibilities 

    •    Provide for children from prior relationships 

    •    Avoid future legal disputes in the event of divorce 
    •.   Legal Requirements for Validity 

 

Florida law imposes certain conditions for a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement to be enforceable. An agreement may be challenged or invalidated if: 

    •    One party was coerced, pressured, or misled into signing 

    •    There was fraud or misrepresentation 

    •    A party failed to fully disclose their assets and debts 

    •    The agreement was unconscionable at the time it was signed. 
 

It’s important to note that an agreement is not automatically invalid just because one party did not have an attorney. While it’s always best for both parties to seek independent legal counsel, Florida law does not require both sides to be represented for the agreement to be enforceable.
