Prenups often get a bad rap as a tool for hedging one’s bets in relation to an impending marriage. Prenuptial agreements, however, play many, many important roles that have little to do with callousness on the part of the person who requests the contract. It’s easy to forget that prenups are nothing more than legal documents that both parties to a marriage must agree to, and that can address a wide range of financial issues. If you are entering into a second marriage, a prenuptial agreement is probably in your and your new spouse’s best interests, and consulting with an experienced Florida prenup attorney is strongly advised.

Many people fail to consider every component of their assets in their estate planning/prenup, which can lead to financial frictions later. While your primary assets are likely addressed in your estate planning, there may be other assets to take into consideration, including:
Addressing these assets directly in your prenup will help ensure that they are transferred to the person or people for whom they are intended. When prenuptial agreements are written carefully – with the professional legal counsel of an experienced Florida prenup attorney – they are extremely difficult to successfully contest.
When it comes to prenups, there are several basic guidelines that it’s important to keep in mind, including:
