Postnuptial Agreements
California postnuptial agreement attorney
A postnuptial agreement is entered into after marriage. It allows spouses to define or change their property and financial rights during the marriage.
When spouses consider a postnuptial agreement
Spouses may consider a postnuptial agreement when they want to:
- Confirm the character of existing property
- Change how future income or acquisitions will be treated
- Address ownership of a business
- Resolve questions concerning real estate
- Document separate-property contributions
- Change an earlier prenuptial agreement
- Define financial rights following reconciliation
- Establish financial terms after a major change in circumstances
Careful review is required
Postnuptial agreements require careful review because spouses owe fiduciary duties to one another and agreements made during marriage may receive close scrutiny.
