Prenup Agreement
A prenuptial agreement or “prenup” is a legal agreement between two people who intend to get married.
In a prenup, you typically address concerns like finances and how they are to be decided in the case of a divorce or death.
It is important to consider having a professionally drafted prenup before you are married.
