Frequently Asked Questions

► What is a Prenuptial Agreement?
A prenuptial agreement is a legal document created before marriage that outlines how assets, debts, and other financial matters will be handled in the event of a separation or divorce. It’s a practical way to protect both partners and ensure clarity about financial expectations.

► Why would I need a Cohabitation Agreement?
A cohabitation agreement is for couples who are living together but not married. It helps define how property, finances, and other responsibilities will be managed during the relationship—and if it ends. It’s a smart way to protect both partners and avoid misunderstandings down the road.

► Can we create a Marriage Agreement after we’re already married?
Yes! A marriage agreement (sometimes called a postnuptial agreement) is created during the marriage. It’s a way to clarify financial and property arrangements, especially if your circumstances have changed—like acquiring new assets, starting a business, or blending families.

► Are these agreements only for wealthy couples?
Not at all! Prenuptial, cohabitation, and marriage agreements are helpful for anyone who wants to protect their financial future, clarify expectations, or avoid potential disputes. They’re about peace of mind, no matter your financial situation.

► Do both partners need a lawyer?
Yes, it’s highly recommended that each partner has their own lawyer to review the agreement. This ensures the document is fair, legally sound, and that both parties fully understand their rights and obligations.

► Can these agreements be changed later?
Absolutely. Life changes, and so can your agreement. If your circumstances evolve—like having children, buying property, or starting a business—you can update your agreement to reflect your current needs.

► How long does it take to create an agreement?
The process typically takes a few weeks, depending on the complexity of your situation and how quickly both parties can provide the necessary information. We’ll work efficiently to create a document that meets your needs without unnecessary delays.

► Are these agreements enforceable in court?
Yes, as long as they are drafted properly, signed voluntarily, and both parties have had independent legal advice. We’ll ensure your agreement meets all legal requirements to stand up in court if needed.

► How much does it cost?
Pricing starts at $1,500, but the final cost depends on the complexity of your situation. We’ll provide a clear estimate upfront so there are no surprises.
