Prenuptial agreement, antenuptial agreement, premarital agreement, and premarital contract are all terms used to describe an agreement made by two people about to be married defining for themselves their respective rights, duties, and responsibilities in the event their marriage terminates by death, annulment, separation, or divorce. Prenuptial agreements are used to protect the assets an individual has obtained before the marriage. You may want a prenuptial agreement if you want to protect your house, car, business, or personal possessions that you have obtained before the marriage from being taken from you and your family later in life in the event the marriage terminates. Maybe you are a widow who wants to remarry, but don't want to take the chance of losing everything you worked your whole life for. Maybe you have a successful career or business and don't want to take the chance of your fiancé taking advantage of you later. There are many reasons why one may want to have a prenuptial agreement.
