You may be one of many Americans living in Ohio who are engaged or about to get married. You may consider signing a prenuptial agreement before marriage to protect yourself in the future in case something would ever happen. There are many reasons why someone would want to sign a prenuptial agreement before marriage. An example would be a widow who wants to remarry, but don't want to take the chance of losing everything they worked their whole life for. Another example would be someone with a successful career or business that doesn't want to take the chance of their fiancé taking advantage of them later.

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, dissolution, or divorce. Prenuptial agreements are used to protect the assets an individual has obtained before the marriage. You may want to sign 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.
