Do I Need a Prenup?
Many people associate prenuptial agreements with entertainers, professional athletes and other high-profile individuals of high-net worth. However, there are many reasons that couples of all classes chose to obtain a prenuptial agreement. Attorneys at our law firm are experienced in preparing prenuptial agreements for clients in a multitude of situations, such as:
- Blended families: Prenuptial agreements can be used as part of your estate plan when entering into marriage with children of your own. The terms of your prenuptial agreement can specifically preserve the inheritance rights of your children. It also can be an enforceable method of keeping property and finances separate, which many people entering into a second marriage prefer to do.
- Marriage after 35: It can be extremely difficult for those who are used to living on their own and used to managing their own finances to become comfortable with the idea of merging financial life with a spouse. Creating a prenuptial agreement can ease the transition of marriage without the fear of the financial consequences if the marriage doesn't work out.
- Disparity in wealth: There is no "right age" or "right stage in life" to enter into marriage. One party may have come from a wealthy family or has built up a successful, professional practice while the other party is just starting out in his or her career. A prenuptial agreement can address issues of property interests, support and other critical issues.
- Estate planning: Many people chose to create a prenuptial agreement as a method of protecting inheritance rights, whether protecting the rights of children from prior marriages, preserving the family ties of precious heirlooms or preparing for prospective inheritances. A prenuptial agreement allows couples to distinguish separate property rights from those that will become marital and identify how those rights should be addressed in the future.
Everyone has a reason for wanting a prenup. Whatever the reason or the desired result, we can help prepare a thorough prenup that meets your needs, and we are careful to ensure that all aspects of creating and executing the agreement are compliant with Oregon laws.
Can I get a Postnuptial Agreement in Oregon?
While under Oregon law there are some questions about the enforceability of postnuptial agreements, it is important to consult with an experienced lawyer about your unique situation. When a marriage has already taken place, we may be capable of drafting an enforceable agreement or advising you on how to protect your interests by appropriately structuring finances.
