They allow you to plan for your future, and helps protect you and your partner from potential risk. They are an integral part of any financial plan.
• Protect your assets – A home, your business, a pension or other significant assets
• Protect your interest in your home – You might be investing more into the purchase of a jointly held home than your spouse. Without an agreement, you may not be entitled to any credit for your larger investment.
• Protect your estate plan – This is especially important if you are getting re-married and you have obligations to your former spouse or children from a previous relationship.
• Have some certainty if you are not getting married – The laws regarding property division are different when you have lived together than when you are married, and they are evolving. An agreement provides some certainty.
• To protect your income – You may want to include a spousal support waiver so you know that you will not have to pay support, or you might want one spouse to be provided for.
