Understanding the distinctions between a prenuptial agreement (prenup) and a postnuptial agreement (postnup) is crucial when it comes to safeguarding marital assets in Massachusetts. A prenup is a legally binding contract entered into by parties before marriage, outlining the division of assets and addressing potential spousal support in the event of divorce. Conversely, a postnuptial agreement is executed after marriage but serves a similar purpose, allowing couples to define their financial rights and responsibilities. In Massachusetts, both prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are subject to state laws, and their enforceability depends on factors like full disclosure, fairness, and the absence of coercion during execution. Our law firm specializes in helping clients navigate these nuanced legal instruments, providing tailored guidance on the preparation and execution of prenuptial and postnuptial agreements to ensure the protection of their interests in the event of marital changes or dissolution.
