Premarital Agreements

Premarital agreements are presented as the rational way to handle financial and property affairs that arise upon marriage. In Illinois, two people who are contemplating marriage can enter into a written agreement to regulate certain financial matters during the marriage in the event of a divorce and/or upon the death of one or both of the parties. Such an agreement may be referred to as a Premarital Agreement, Prenuptial Agreement, or Antenuptial Agreement. These agreements are governed by the Illinois Premarital Agreement Act. In almost any circumstance, the parties may want to have a premarital agreement to memorialize their agreements; but in some situations it is almost imperative that the parties obtain legal advice regarding the possibility of a Premarital Agreement.
