Cook County, Illinois Prenuptial Agreement Lawyers

Of all family law matters, probably nothing is more often misunderstood than prenuptial agreements (a.k.a. premarital agreements). Quite simply, prenuptial agreements are contracts that set standards for any legal matters involving a marriage. The lawyers of Linda K. Schneider & Associates can have the experience and knowledge to help anyone in Cook or DuPage County, Illinois with a prenuptial agreement of any kind.

Keep Assets Clearly Delineated

Prenuptial agreements are very effective ways to keep assets separate during a marriage. If well structured, a prenuptial agreement will override the laws of estate distribution that are used in divorce agreements.

As we discuss on our divorce page, there are often many complex, messy, and expensive disputes about what assets were gained before a marriage (non-community property) and which were gained during the marriage (community property). Establishing a prenuptial agreement is a prudent way to prevent such costly disputes from ever occurring.

Cover Divorce, Death, and Disability

However, prenuptial agreements cover much more than just possible divorces. When drafting an Illinois prenuptial agreement, the lawyers of our firm consider many different situations. For example, in the eventuality that one spouse passes away early into the marriage, the agreement will lay out how their assets are allocated.
