What a Prenuptial Agreement Can Do

A prenuptial agreement or community property agreement can accomplish many things. Typically, its purpose is to define what will be considered separate property if the marriage were to fail. Often, a prenuptial agreement is used protect the inheritances of children from a previous marriage. An agreement can also be used in situations where each party has substantial assets or income of their own, or when one party has significantly more assets than the other.

Creating a Postnuptial Agreement

Our attorneys can also draft or review a proposed postnuptial agreement (sometimes called a postnuptial contract). These agreements can transform a community asset into separate property. They are especially useful in Medicaid planning, where they can allow one spouse to retain an asset while allowing the other spouse to qualify for long-term care. However, there are many factors that must be considered in using a postnuptial agreement for Medicaid planning, including some important timing aspects.
