Do I Need a Premarital Agreement?
Anyone getting married can use a premarital agreement, but such documents are especially helpful for those with substantial assets or substantial debts. Even for those without substantial assets, a prenuptial agreement can streamline the process, saving everyone time, money, and emotional distress.
However, it is critical that your document be well-written and fair, or it might not be upheld in court. As a result, a conversation with our Harrisburg marital agreement attorneys will help you understand what must be included. For example, failure to provide full and fair disclosure of all assets and liabilities can render a prenup invalid.
Requirements for a Prenuptial Agreement in Pennsylvania
There are some basic requirements that must be met for your agreement to be considered valid. The most important case in Pennsylvania is called Simeone v. Simeone. Over the years, additional case law has established what is necessary for a proper prenuptial agreement. If your lawyer does not understand and follow these requirements, your document might not be enforceable.
The requirements include:
- A full and fair disclosure of all assets and debts. This is a fundamental part of creating a fair agreement. If one prospective spouse hides either assets or debts it is impossible for the other person to have a proper sense of what he is signing.
- The agreement must be voluntary, not under duress. It is a serious mistake to present a marital agreement on the night before or day of the wedding. If you are not certain how to discuss a prenuptial agreement with your intended spouse, ask your lawyer for advice.
- Both parties must be aware of their rights. For example, if you are being asked to sign a premarital agreement drafted by your fiancé, you should contact our Mechanicsburg marital agreement lawyers to review the document on your behalf and explain what it will mean for your future.
