People intending
to marry in Texas use premarital agreements for several reasons,
some of which may be interrelated.
In Texas, people marrying for a second time have frequently
accumulated substantial assets that they wish to protect through
a premarital agreement. One or both partners may wish to avoid
the risk of a major loss of assets, income, or a family business
in the event of divorce or death.
Frequently people marrying for a second time are used to
maintaining their own finances and may wish to do so after
divorce.
Dual income professionals generally like to maintain separate
estates.
Also, many times middle aged people have children and grandchildren
from a prior marriage that they need to provide for while
also protecting their spouse from them.
Premarital agreements help the parties clarify their expectations
and rights about the future. A premarital agreement may prevent
uncertainties and fears about how a divorce will affect the
parties if the marriage fails. If you have any similar concerns
or if you would just like to discuss whether a premarital
agreement is right for you, please contact our Houston
