On Behalf of | Feb 8, 2018 | Prenuptial Agreements

If you’re thinking about tying the knot in the near future or are considering popping the question, there may come a point when you want to discuss prenuptial agreements with your partner.

There are many reasons why some couples routinely sign these agreements, as they can be beneficial to both parties. Others, however, are taken aback when they’re asked to consider that proposal.

The manner in which you suggest signing a prenuptial agreement can make the difference between a positive outcome and a disaster. Here are some tips to addressing the matter as seamlessly as possible:

  • Introduce the subject early in the process. You don’t want to wait until the last minute to ask your soon-to-be spouse about signing a prenup. You should leave plenty of time, as it can take a while to work through all of the details.
  • Decide on the terms as a couple. Prenuptial agreements should be two-way streets, with clear and demonstrable benefits for both. The best way to clarify this is to decide on the terms together.
  • Discuss the outcome you want. There is no point in hiding your feelings. Get straight to the point in regards to why you want to create a prenuptial agreement. You should also ask your partner to explain his or her feelings.

These tips can go a long way in helping you successfully ask your partner for a prenuptial agreement

When you know which steps to take to create a binding prenuptial agreement, it’s much easier to make the many other decisions you will face regarding your pending nuptials.
