Portland Prenuptial Agreement Attorney
At our Portland law office, our family law attorney, Suzanne J. Noland, has many years of experience drafting prenuptial agreements. Prenuptial agreements are contracts that spell out the duties and responsibilities of each spouse if the marriage should end in divorce or death. Our clients include young people newly engaged to be married, and older people who need to protect their children's interests. Our lawyer knows that the best prenuptial agreement is the one that stands up in court or prevents a contested divorce. To achieve that, we work with clients to obtain full disclosure of assets. For more information about our approach to prenuptial agreements, contact our Portland law office today.
Who Needs a Prenuptial Agreement?
Although almost anything can be included, prenuptial agreements are usually about money. Not everyone needs a prenuptial, and it is most frequently used by those with substantial assets to protect. Generally, prenuptial agreements are beneficial to people who:
- Own a business
- Have a lot more assets than the intended spouse
- Have significant inherited wealth
- Have a lucrative profession or career
- Have children or grandchildren
Postnuptial Agreements
In addition to drafting prenuptial agreements, our lawyer creates amendments to prenuptials and develops post-nuptial agreements. Postnuptials usually have similar content to prenuptial agreements, but are signed after the marriage has taken place.
Contact an Attorney Who Can Draft an Enforceable Marital Agreement
Although marital agreements are enforceable under Oregon law, the courts pay very careful attention to the circumstances under which they were signed. That is why it is important to have an attorney who understands what the courts look for in any marital agreement. Clients of our law firm can be assured that our attorney has taken care to draft prenuptials or postnuptials knowing that they will be carefully examined.
