A Basic Prenuptial Agreement is a fundamental legal document used in the United States by couples planning to marry who wish to establish clear financial and property rights before their marriage. This type of agreement is particularly important when either party brings significant assets to the marriage, has business interests, or wants to protect future inherited wealth. The document typically includes comprehensive financial disclosures from both parties, provisions for property division, and terms for potential spousal support in case of divorce. While state laws vary, most jurisdictions require that the agreement be signed well in advance of the wedding, that both parties have independent legal counsel, and that there be full financial disclosure. The Basic Prenuptial Agreement serves as a preventive measure against future disputes and provides both parties with clarity and security regarding their financial rights and obligations within the marriage.
