Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements
For couples planning on getting married or couples who have already tied the knot, prenuptial or postnuptial agreements can clearly spell out who has control over particular assets. In some cases, these agreements will specify that after a certain number of months or years, that the couple will begin commingling funds. Regardless of how it is crafted, a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement is the simplest way to avoid unnecessary future conflicts.
Cohabitation Agreements
For couples who are not married but live together as a committed couple, cohabitation agreements allow them to specify which assets are jointly owned and which assets should be kept separate. State law makes it important for cohabiting couples to take this step to prevent difficulties at the end of a relationship.
