Marriage Agreement Before Marriage

Luckily for Justin and Hailey, it`s not too late to get the benefits of a marriage contract. According to state law, they can enter into a marriage contract that will be signed after the marriage. The basic elements of a post-day proclamation are the same as in the case of marriage, although post-economic agreements are more difficult to enforce depending on the state and some states require consideration. The quid pro quo is something of a value that one party gives to the other to get them to sign the agreement. These can be cash, real estate, shares or other assets. In a prenup, you can also determine how much (if any) your spouse will receive from your estate if you divorce or die. This is especially important if you have a large estate and children from a previous marriage, to whom you want to leave part or even all of the estate.
