Do I Need a Postnuptial Agreement?
Typically, couples choose to enter into a postnuptial agreement if they did not execute a prenuptial agreement and want to do so now. Also, a postnuptial agreement can be used to amend or revoke an existing prenuptial agreement. Many times couples elect a postnuptial agreement to protect their rights after infidelity (cheating) or an inheritance.
Another reason couples may choose a postnuptial agreement is if a spouse wishes to designate a beneficiary of their estate who is not their spouse, or if one spouse enters a partnership and wants to protect those assets from the spouse in the event of divorce.
Like prenuptial agreements, postnuptial agreements must be in writing and signed by both parties to be enforceable.
